RE: [CANCEL] [VOTE] Release Apache Curator 2.0.0-incubating (updated)

2013-05-02 Thread Dennis E. Hamilton
Regarding (4),

Once you've created the signature file, simply prepend text to it in front of 
the 

-BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-

line.  You can have something like

Signature by Release Manager Jordan Zimmerman
Public Key Certificate: 
  https://people.apache.org/keys/committer/randgalt.asc
-BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-
[ ... ]

I suppose it would be useful to also link to a page on how to check the 
signature.

It seems strange to have that in the clear, but it is harmless.

I just confirmed that text in front of the initial ASCII armor line is simply 
ignored by GnuPG and I suspect all other PGP signature verification 
implementations.

 - Dennis

PS: Here's a page that describes how to check, although a group of keys is 
recommended in that case:

 1. Add a UID having your Apache ID, randgalt@ apache.org, in that PGP 
 public-key certificate.  You can indicate that it is your preference for code 
 signing, if you desire.
That UID is there already. Can you explain what's missing?

 2. Log into your randgalt@ a.o profile at https://id.apache.org/ and 
 provide the fingerprint of your key as part of your profile.

 3. BONUS RECOMMENDATION.  Do not put a copy of the public key in the 
 repository.
Already removed. My .asc file should show up in /keys/committer/ soon.

 4. GRAND PRIZE RECOMMENDATION.  For all external signatures that you create, 
 add to the ascii-armored signature text (outside of the armor) a link to 
 https://people.apache.org/keys/committer/randgalt.asc.
No comprende. I'll research how to do this.

I've completely misunderstood this process and need to take this back to

Next time please provide a link to the tag in the source code control
system.

That's needed to trace provenance of the files in the source release.

While we are at it, a link to your project's KEYS file would be
helpful as well.

Just unzip the archive. ;)

Curator folks, please find another way to distribute the KEYS file.
Distributing it embedded in the source archive is worthless at best.

standard (?) location:

RE: [CANCEL] [VOTE] Release Apache Curator 2.0.0-incubating (updated)

2013-05-01 Thread Dennis E. Hamilton
Four suggestions:

 1. Add a UID having your Apache ID, randgalt@ apache.org, in that PGP 
public-key certificate.  You can indicate that it is your preference for code 
signing, if you desire.

 2. Log into your randgalt@ a.o profile at https://id.apache.org/ and provide 
the fingerprint of your key as part of your profile.  This will accomplish two 
things: (1) It establishes that the fingerprint was provided by someone having 
the ASF credentials for randgalt@ a.o; (2) it causes the public key to be added 
to a secure location as file 
https://people.apache.org/keys/committer/randgalt.asc.  That file is 
regularly synchronized with PGP key services and confirms that it is the key 
provided by randgalt@ in step (1) and also reflects (web-of-trust) 
certifications of that key by others as well as any revocation if that becomes 
necessary.

 3. BONUS RECOMMENDATION.  Do not put a copy of the public key in the 
repository.  Instead, put a link to 
https://people.apache.org/keys/committer/randgalt.asc there, if desired.  If 
it is in a file called KEYS, update the instructions to refer to the locations 
in the committer keys folder.  (If there will be many release managers and 
signers in the future, you can instead instruct users to obtain all Curator 
committer keys from https://people.apache.org/keys/group/curator.asc once 
Curator becomes an ASF top-level project.)

 4. GRAND PRIZE RECOMMENDATION.  For all external signatures that you create, 
add to the ascii-armored signature text (outside of the armor) a link to 
https://people.apache.org/keys/committer/randgalt.asc.

The idea is to use access to your Apache profile as an additional factor beyond 
your self-signing of the certificate and any web-of-trust certifications of 
your certificate.  It also lets those non-ASF folk who desire to verify 
signatures know whose signature the verification is expected to confirm and 
that the signer is an ASF committer.
