GPG agent

When preparing some artifacts to be published to a maven repository - needed some help with gpg publishing.

More often that not - when the gpg key verification was happening - it was reporting about a missing file -    ~/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent .

'touch'ing would not help because that is not a file , but a socket for the agent to listen on.

$ gpg-agent --use-standard-socket --daemon 2>/dev/null

This makes the agent listen on the socket.
