Expiration date of key signature

2016-02-10 Thread Muri Nicanor 
hello gnupg-users,

if i want to sign a gpg-key, how do i set an expiration date for that
signature? i haven't found anything in the documentation about
characteristics of signatures other than the option --ask-cert-level.
i'm on debian stretch with gpg 1.4.20

thanks & cheers,
muri

I feel I ought to disclaim: I do volunteer for the GNU project
(including some unimpressive but prominent tasks) and take part
in a few FSF's campaigns, however, technically I'm but FSF's volunteer
like you.
