As explained elsewhere, this is because you have not updated your local
checkout of the keyring branch.
I’ve hit this situation several times, and each time, I took me some
time to remember what’s wrong. Therefore, instead of what the manual
recommends [1], namely
git fetch origin keyring:keyring
guix git authenticate 9edb3f66fd807b096b48283debdcddccfea34bad \
"BBB0 2DDF 2CEA F6A8 0D1D E643 A2A0 6DF2 A33A 54FA"
I run this on a fresh clone:
guix git authenticate -k origin/keyring \
9edb3f66fd807b096b48283debdcddccfea34bad \
"BBB0 2DDF 2CEA F6A8 0D1D E643 A2A0 6DF2 A33A 54FA"
Otherwise, I tweak the file .git/config to have:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[guix "authentication"]
introduction-commit = 9edb3f66fd807b096b48283debdcddccfea34bad
introduction-signer = BBB0 2DDF 2CEA F6A8 0D1D E643 A2A0 6DF2 A33A 54FA
keyring = origin/keyring
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Then I do not need to remember to update my local checkout of the
keyring branch when a committer is added. All just works like a charm
and out of the box.
I see you: What is it not documented? :-) Well, I’ve sent the patch but
there is no consensus. See:
https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/pulls/440
And to be honest, I’ve been too bored to argue again and again for a
trivial patch that fixes all the annoyances, so I gave up.
Closing this ticket because it’s not a bug, and if it’s one it’s already
known and already tracked on Codeberg. :-)
Cheers,
simon
