Hi Everyone,
I just pushed changes that I hope are a step toward releasability.
Basically you can now use "ant release sign" to create signed release
artifacts.
It creates these files in target/0.2.0-SNAPSHOT or whatever the current
version is.
I'm still not sure about how the KEYS should be handled and that
probably needs to change.
KEYS
knox-0.2.0-SNAPSHOT-src.zip
knox-0.2.0-SNAPSHOT-src.zip.asc
knox-0.2.0-SNAPSHOT-src.zip.md5
knox-0.2.0-SNAPSHOT-src.zip.sha
knox-0.2.0-SNAPSHOT.zip
knox-0.2.0-SNAPSHOT.zip.asc
knox-0.2.0-SNAPSHOT.zip.md5
knox-0.2.0-SNAPSHOT.zip.sha
For "ant sign" to work you will need GNU Privacy Guard
(http://www.gnupg.org/) installed on your system and have generated RSA
4096 bit keys.
The build.xml might need to be tweaked to run on systems other than a mac.
You can run "ant release" without signing.
Mentors,
What is the right way to go about testing this?
In addition I assume that we won't be using an untrusted key so who will
actually create the release and stage? Devarj?
I'll have to find a key signing party before I can do it.
It will also create an email like below in target/vote.txt
