Karl, what steps do you use to generate keys?
I followed these steps verbatim:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/UsingGpg/CreatingKeys
1. gpg --gen-key (I used all the default values)
2. gpg --fingerprint your@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
For me this prints something such as the following:
pub 1024D/81B3FDEB 2007-09-19 [expires: 2008-09-18]
Key fingerprint = 4ED9 9907 5BF0 4132 2B46 20D1 C0C6 362D 81B3 FDEB

Maybe the GPGKEYID is confusing? Using my example, first line (pub),
it is the second hex value (81B3FDEB)
3. Upload to MIT: gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --send-keys 81B3FDEB
4. To export them, and possibly upload them to make an account: gpg
--export --armor murray.mcallister@gmail > murray_pub.asc
will export my public key to murray_pub.asc
If you are still around, could you please run through the steps I have
here (even though they are a copy of the website), and let me know how
you go.
All the best.

Murray, The last straw is after I got the stupid thing to put my
signature into the message back to fedora It didn't do that right.
And I just get Sorry your file is currupt.
So having made 3 key rings and numerous tries at getting the thing to
work I am done. There is something odd about F8 or something I am not
aware of is causing trouble. But I'm tired of chasing problems.
Everything else seems to work fine.
Karl
Did you edit the .txt file before applying the key? It didn't
explicitly say that so that may be your issue.
Geeze you guys take for a stupid jerk? Of course I did! Your fucking
instructions say nothing but the message said to do it so I did.
Way to respond to people who are trying pretty hard to help by providing
instructions that worked for everybody else.
Granted, this process ought to be simplified but the statements how it's
so hard because there are no good instructions... come on.
Vladimir
But good by. I am not going to write for your group because it is way
too hard.
Karl
I have to agree, fedora docs project is by far the hardest project I've
ever tried to join. Previous development projects all I had to do is
send an email and hey presto SVN write access. This whole process is so
long and drawn out it is probably marginalising a whole swathe of
potential contributers.
