I typically do something like this:
$ TAG=jackrabbit-jcr-commons-1.4.1
$ JAR=$TAG-src.jar
$ svn export http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/tags/$TAG
$ jar cMf $JAR $TAG
$ openssl md5 < $JAR > $JAR.md5
$ openssl sha1 < $JAR > $JAR.sha
$ gpg --armor --output $JAR.asc --detach-sig $JAR
Agreed, it's not very streamlined, though I do have it scripted to a
large degree.
PS. As for why we need the -src jar; as an open _source_ project our
releases should (some say must) be in source form. We can provide
pre-compiled binaries and things like the Maven -sources jars as a
convenience to users, but the primary content of the release should be
the sources from which those convenience packages were built.
