Karl, if you specify -a option as well, you should end up with .asc

I have been looking at what has been happening and decided to
see where I got my information on your web site. Below are where I
found instructions for getting a key:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/UsingGpg/CreatingKeys
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/AccountSystem/CLAHowTo
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Join
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Join/CheckList
Next I want to check out the CLA problem because it can be that
this problem is a BUG for Fedora 8. Since most of you got this step
done with zero trouble on earlier versions of Fedora it smells like
something changed.
Well you ask for and get a file attached to an email that is:
fedora-icla-karl.txt
and you are instructed to write:
If you agree to these terms and conditions, type "I agree" here:
I agree

As you can see I did that. Then your supposed to sign this file with
your GPG key using a gpg call. Here is what happened.
At first it would error out with a complaint that a default was
wrong. This went on for some time but then it seemed to work. It
asked me for my password which I gave it and it made a new file that
looks like this:
fedora-icla-karl.txt.gpgfedora-icla-karl.txt.gpg
This file is not what Fedora wants. I sent it in and it sent an
error email back. This file is a binary file now and I have no way
to read it.
The file that is expected is fedora-icla-karl.asc but on F8 I
don't get that.
A question. Does anyone get the desired file on F8? This might
be another problem.
Karl
OK. I wrote a file as you suggested using -a and the file is now
ascii readable and the name of the file is:
fedora-icla-karl.txt.asc
and the file looks like this:
[karl@k5di ~]$ more fedora-icla-karl.txt.asc

I sent this file back in exactly the way it was asked and I got
this email back:
With regards to "Re: Fedora Individual Contributor License Agreement".
Your message could not be processed.
Reason:
The signature could not be processed. The signature may have been
created or attached improperly, it might not match the key ID you
have registered in the Account System, or the public key may not
have been found on the key server. For guidance, please see the
following page:
It refers me to the wiki where I was before many times.
A little progress but still not right.
Karl
I just checked, and changed my email signature and am now certain
the keys my registration has are the ones I'm now using. I have changed
them a lot trying to get this system to work.
