• $USERNAME is the remote username on people.apache.org, not your local userid.
• $PATH_TO_PRIVATE_KEY is the path to the private key generated for ssh. E.g. /home/yourLocalUserId/.ssh/id_dsa. For Windows' cygwin users, you will need to enter the full cygwin path: /cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/yourLocalUserId/.ssh/id_dsa.
• You can also enter a PGP passphrase stanza: <passphrase>..</passphrase>. If you don't use this in your settings.xml file, then you will be prompted for it during the Release processing.
