Description

It's difficult to sign artifacts in docker, both for specifying the correct GPG key to use (if more than one is installed), and because of the following error message:

gpg: signing failed: No pinentry

The solution is to sign the files outside of the docker, or to use the ubertool with the following changes to the build command:

gpg --local-user=B0CCBDD6 --batch --pinentry-mode loopback --passphrase "$password" ...

(note that B0CCBDD6 refers to my GPG public key: https://people.apache.org/keys/committer/rskraba.asc)
