I just tried, and failed, gpg keeps asking for a passphrase until you enter one or kill it. It kept haunting me and asking for a passphrase even after trying ctrl-c > Sites like gitlab tell you to not attempt to upload private keys, ok > so i > imagine quite a lot of people have mistakenly done so in the past. imagine? but what do you suggest? we can document how someone can create a key upload it and so on. You can provide me with a url that describes a working documentation for that, i surely do not have one. alot of documentations are somewhat bad. Many keyservers have died recently some existing keys like DSA seem to have some affinity to SHA1, and SHA1 is rejected today while at the same time still default on many setups, the one documentation i saw today to fix that DSA/SHA1 issue requires you to have a backup as it breaks your keys and is wrong. thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB Breaking DRM is a little like attempting to break through a door even though the window is wide open and the only thing in the house is a bunch of things you dont want and which you would get tomorrow for free anyway
