[jira] [Commented] (MINSTALL-133) Take Security More Seriously - Checksum by default

["Elliotte Rusty Harold (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINSTALL-133?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16996812#comment-16996812 ] 

Elliotte Rusty Harold commented on MINSTALL-133:
------------------------------------------------

I think the install plugin only copies the built jar into the local repository. It's not used for remote deployment, and I can't think of anything that would fail if the checksum were off in this case. I propose closing this issue as won't fix unless a clearer problem can be stated. 

Remote deployment is a very different story, but that's not this plugin.

> I believe that a default of createChecksum being false is bad practice and a checksum should always being produced.
> Maven doesn't appear to have a guide so I'm looking towards the main apache guide i.e. https://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html
