Batch processing does not work. See README.v3-keys. + V3 keys (pgp 2.6x keys) are deprecated.

Many people (like caff's author) refuse to sign v3 keys + these days. + + If you want to sign v3 keys, sign v3 separately. Batch processing does not + work. See README.v3-keys. * Use multiple passes. Going through retrieving, signing, and mailing keys can help, e.g.: - $ caff -SEM `cat ksp-fingerprints.txt` - $ caff -REM `cat ksp-fingerprints.txt` - $ caff -RSE `cat ksp-fingerprints.txt` + $ 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 will send out all previously done signatures in the message.
