    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 at 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.

Karl
