Do:

  ssh-keygen -b 4096 -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa-fedora

Then edit .ssh/config and add:

  # Use a different key to work around Fedora key policy idiocy.
  Host *.fedoraproject.org fedorapeople.org *.fedorahosted.org
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa-fedora

You may also need to add the passphrase to your ssh agent.

Works for me.

Rich.
