[jira] (MGPG-45) ascDirectory has no effect unless artifacts are not in target

["SebbASF (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

SebbASF created MGPG-45:
---------------------------

             Summary: ascDirectory has no effect unless artifacts are not in target
                 Key: MGPG-45
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MGPG-45
             Project: Maven 2.x and 3.x GPG Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.4
            Reporter: SebbASF


Not sure if this is a documentation or code bug or both.

The doc for gpg:sign / ascDirectory says:

{code}
The directory where to store signature files.

Default: ${project.build.directory}/gpg
{code}

However changing this has no effect unless the artifacts are moved elsewhere than target (by changing assembly:outputDirectory).

If outputDirectory is set to target/tarballs then the sig files are actually stored in target/gpg/target/tarballs for the default setting, rather than in the expected directory of target/gpg

If ascDirectory is set to ASC then the sigs are stored in 
ASC/target/tarballs/ rather than ASC.

If ascDirectory is set to "." then the sigs are stored in 
target/tarballs/ rather than the home directory.

There does not seem to be any use-case for this behaviour, and if there is, it's not documented correctly.
