[Debconf-discuss] KSP: caff uses SHA-1 by default, instructions for stronger digests



Hi,

Following Debconf, you are certainly about to use caff and sign/sent
keys (or you already did it).

Just this mail to make the Bdale notice[0] more visible: caff uses SHA1 by
default[1], even with correctly configured gnupg as per Ana's post[2]. 
That's a shame since the point of these 4k keys is to use stronger digests.

To fix it for future keys:
ln -s ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf ~/.caff/gnupghome/gpg.conf 

To fix key XXXXXXXX signed using SHA-1 :
gpg --homedir=/home/uid/.caff/gnupghome --secret-keyring /home/uid/.gnupg/secring.gpg
--no-auto-check-trustdb --trust-model=always --edit-key XXXXXXXX caff --no-download XXXXXXXX
