Renaming deployment repositories to include the component 'deploy' to allow authentication for deploying and fetching to be configured separately. Configuring the deploy plugin to version 2.8.2 because the default version (2.7) attempts to upload files before it has downloaded metadata, which can cause the remote repo to become out of sync, particularly when using the SCP wagon (v2.7) as this project does, with the current version of Maven (3.2.3). Also configuring the GPG plugin to refrain from passing the '--no-use-agent' flag to the external GPG tool, which has been reporting a warning for awhile now.
