interesting, the depths of my ignorance continue to berevealed to me... I'm not sure what a keyid is! But I did try this: gpg --export "Matt Price <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" > ring.gpg -- and I ended up with something much smaller. So maybe that's good enough. But one thing is, I'm still not sure that the key I export is the one I'm actually using to sign my debian packages & files. I know I've made a number of keys inthe past (part of my wanderings in the dark) and now I don't know which one is automatically used when I invoke gpg. jeez, how do I figure that out? oh, and finally -- if I figure out which key I want to export, do I add it to the ubuntu-keyring just with cat mykey.gpg >> ubuntu-archive-keyring ? or will that screw with the binary file format somehow? sorry for the ignorance.
