Sebb updated MPOM-118:
----------------------
    Comment: was deleted

(was: I don't see the point.

Hashes are only really useful for checking that a download has succeeded.
They don't provide any authentication, therefore the strength of the hash is not particularly relevant.

Indeed providing a stronger hash may mislead end users into thinking that the hash is sufficient.)

> maven-gpg-plugin configuration could be improved a bit so that ASF releases are not weakened by a user's weak personal configuration.
> I suggest adding something like the following to maven-gpg-plugin's configuration in the pluginManagement section:
> {code:xml}
> <gpgArguments combine.children="append">
>   <arg>--digest-algo=SHA512</arg>
> </gpgArguments>
> {code}
