caff and gpg allow you to specify the full fingerprint. This will save you
from having to check the fingerprint yourself. If you have a text file with
- all fingerprints (with all the spaces stripped from them), use that and then
- run
+ all fingerprints, use that and then run
- $ caff <options> `cat ksp-fingerprints.txt`
+ $ caff <options> "`cat ksp-fingerprints.txt`"
+
+ For convenience, caff also allows spaces in fingerprints/keyids as output by
+ gpg --fingerprint. (Remember to properly quote arguments as shown above.)
* v3 keys are evil.
Going through retrieving, signing, and mailing keys can help, e.g.:
- $ caff --no-sign --no-export-old --no-mail `cat ksp-fingerprints.txt`
- $ caff --no-download --no-export-old --no-mail `cat ksp-fingerprints.txt`
- $ caff --no-download --no-sign --no-export-old `cat ksp-fingerprints.txt`
-
-* If you have multiple local keys, only send mail once after signing with all.
+ $ caff --no-sign --no-export-old --no-mail "`cat ksp-fingerprints.txt`"
+ $ caff --no-download --no-export-old --no-mail "`cat ksp-fingerprints.txt`"
+ $ caff --no-download --no-sign --no-export-old "`cat ksp-fingerprints.txt`"
- caff will send out all previously done signatures in the message. (Of course
- you have to configure $CONFIG{'keyid'} to contain all your key ids.)
+* If you have multiple local keys, use -u <mykey1>,<mykey2>.
- $ caff --no-export-old --no-mail -u <mykey1> <keyids to sign>
- $ caff --no-download --no-export-old -u <mykey2> <keyids to sign>
+ $ caff -u <mykey1>,<mykey2> <keyids to sign>
* Use gpg-agent.
prompt any more; you will have *not* to send out some mails. (And you have
unwanted signatures lingering around in ~/.caff/gnupghome/pubring.gpg.)
