Hi, having two machines I would want to merge my public x509 certificates from one to the other. Another use case would be backup purposes. What is the recommended way doing this? I found one and I believe this should be better documented.
gpgsm --export >exported-x509-keys
does not work.
gpgsm: exporting more than one certificate is not possible in binary mode
Oka so
gpgsm --armor --export >exported-x509-keys
and gpgsm --import exported-x509-keys works.
While doing so I looked up the documentation "export [PATTERN]"
and searching for PATTERN did not result into the section that
explains how to select a user id. I suggest to add a sentence
which contains "PATTERN" to this section.
Also with gpg you can just
gpg --import pubring.gpg which makes merging a lot easier.
For the gpg trust-list there are command line options for exporting
and importing. So I would suggest to add least add the example
of the recommended way to the manual and textinfo documentation.
I searched way to long to find this way.
Best,
Bernhard
