Contributors Manual

Manual for Contributors and site/release manager

Known issues

  • The current .dput.cf only calls remote-sign for the release a package belongs to. However, it seems all releases are re-generated at the server, so most likely all need to be signed whenever a package is uploaded to any part of the repository.

Adding contributors (release manager)

Update the keyring by importing the key of new contributor, like:

git@ns1:~/.gnupg$ gpg --no-default-keyring --ignore-time-conflict --keyring ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg --import /tmp/arend.key 

And then copy the keyring to the web location:

git@ns1:~/.gnupg$ cp pubring.gpg /var/www/beagle.tuks.nl/debian/

For signing the release from your own (remote) computer, the script (sign_remote) can be used.
