If that's the same as ftp-upload, then yes, I emailed it to them, and they referred me here concerning the Savannah problem. > so I'd like my key to show up in Bison's keyring > on Savannah, but it hasn't yet. > > I don't know how the savannah keyrings are maintained, if they are an > automatically-updated copy of what sysadmin has for alpha/ftp.gnu.org > (evidently not), or something else. When I set my original GPG key (now expired) on Savannah, I got the impression it was automatically propagated to Bison's keyring. I'm not sure why it isn't happening now. I had searched the archives and found someone else reporting a similar problem: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers/2007-02/msg00042.html Sylvain Beucler fixed this apparently by enabling GPG support. I don't see any switch for that in my Bison admin page, but maybe I missed it. Maybe a Savannah admin has to do it. > (Nor do I know what difference they > make to anything, for that matter.) Although users can obviously download the keys from the key servers, I think some download from here. At least, I've done that in the past. Anyway, the keyrings should be up-to-date or removed, in my opinion.
