Hi, I could not figure out how to sign the POM as needed to upload to sonatype  
when using the new maven-publish  
[https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/publishing\_maven.html#sec:modifying\_the\_generated\_pom](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/publishing_maven.html#sec:modifying_the_generated_pom)

as the signing plugin is mentioning the old upload task:  
[https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/signing\_plugin.html](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/signing_plugin.html)

uploadArchives {  
repositories {  
mavenDeployer {  
beforeDeployment { MavenDeployment deployment -\> signing.signPom(deployment) }  
}  
}  
}

can you point me to right direction how to hook into upload to sign the pom?  
Here the build.gradle:
