No, only one. > I'd basically assume that most people just use one key and might as well > use DEBSIGN_KEYID in their ~/.profile_or_whatever. That's a real case of policy 9.9 "don't use the environment for configuration". I'd rather like to get rid of DEBEMAIL, too, and put it into ~/.devscripts (which didn't work last time I tried). In turn, dcut should probably also read that file. I didn't have the time yet to investigate further, but a standardization of Debian tool configs would probably be helpful for lots of people/packages. (That's a different issue, though.) > I will consider the consistency arguement, though, it might be a good one. Please do. I know that -k is still not optimal (~/.devscripts is the way to go imho), but that option should be there. Christoph -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.df7cb.de/
