I think most people do not have gpg-agent running by default, may not know how to launch it (I was vague on it), and while it is true that the test signature at container launch will catch a missing agent timely, it won't tell the user how to fix the problem. -- So, maybe also have that test sig command catch failure and give an instructive error message. Please? @mattf-apache latest commit adds in an example in the README and some error handling to point to it. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
