However nothing I've come across so far shows you how to get started with gpg.

Here are the gpg docs:

Don't use an online server to do this. You'll want to:

* generate a key
* generate a revocation certificate
* copy these to a usb key, burn to CD, worth having multiple non-online backups.

Once you've done that, you can then follow Noel's instructions on signing.

I've always used the command line 'gpg', I'm not sure if there are any
good front-ends, but they're listed on:

There really isn't that much to doing this, which is kind of the whole
point.  I have the following in my build script, between building and
posting:

  for i in *.zip; do gpg --output $i.asc --detach-sig --armor $i; done
  for i in *.gz; do gpg --output $i.asc --detach-sig --armor $i; done

See http://wiki.apache.org/old/SigningReleases.

See also:
http://wiki.apache.org/old/AvalonReleaseManagerHowto/SigningReleases, but I
don't recommend the technique for avoiding passphrase entry.
