CLA problem +
I have been looking at what has been happening and decided to see
where I got my information on your web site. Below are where I found
instructions for getting a key:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/UsingGpg/CreatingKeys
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/AccountSystem/CLAHowTo
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Join
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Join/CheckList
Next I want to check out the CLA problem because it can be that this
problem is a BUG for Fedora 8. Since most of you got this step done with
zero trouble on earlier versions of Fedora it smells like something
changed.
Well you ask for and get a file attached to an email that is:
fedora-icla-karl.txt
and you are instructed to write:
If you agree to these terms and conditions, type "I agree" here: I agree
Enter your full name here: Karl Larsen
Signing code: 6314c512cb565e955aec16204c1fad48
E-mail: k5di(a)zianet.com
Date: 2007-12-18 17:00:49.46
As you can see I did that. Then your supposed to sign this file with
your GPG key using a gpg call. Here is what happened.
At first it would error out with a complaint that a default was
wrong. This went on for some time but then it seemed to work. It asked
me for my password which I gave it and it made a new file that looks
like this:
fedora-icla-karl.txt.gpg
This file is not what Fedora wants. I sent it in and it sent an error
email back. This file is a binary file now and I have no way to read it.
The file that is expected is fedora-icla-karl.asc but on F8 I don't
get that.
A question. Does anyone get the desired file on F8? This might be
another problem.
