Paul Hammant updated MGPG-59:
-----------------------------
    Description: 
Some versions and configurations of GPG want to pop an interactive UI, which 
the maven-gpg-plugin cannot handle.  This appears in the log, before Maven 
quits without much advice:

    "gpg: signing failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device"  

!screenshot-1.png!

*The remedy is for the user to do something with gpg on the command line before 
going into mvn-release:prepare*. Something that will allow gpg to remember (for 
a period of time) the passphrase entered in that interactive UI, that the maven 
invocation of gpg can take advantage of afterwards.

Historically there was a gpg option '--no-use-agent', but not all gpg 
implementations support that today, not will going forwards as it is being 
removed.

Suggestion: On command error, System.out.println the remedy above.
