Hi Marlon,

The source release is automatically signed by maven gpg pluggin which has 
default sha1 160 bit encryption. We manually have to sign the binary release 
with command line tools and use stronger encryption, hence the discrepancy [1]. 
May be there is a way to configure maven plugging to use sha-2 512 bit 
encryption but haven't explored it.
