Source: developers-reference Severity: normal Hello, on the page: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch02.en.html in the section '2.3. Registering as a Debian developer', the text says: 'Your key length must be greater than 1024 bits'. It's true but it would be more accurate to say: 'Your key length must be greater or equal to 2048 bits'. or 'Your key length must be greater or equal to 2048 bits (4096 bits is preferred)'. According to the presentation of the state of opengpg showed in DebConf14, keys with size of 1280 or 1536 bits can exist. http://annex.debconf.org/debconf-share/debconf14/slides/state_of_openpgp/state_of_openpgp.pdf (Today, those keys have been removed if they were in debian keyrings.) Perhaps the link should be changed to: http://keyring.debian.org/creating-key.html So to sum up: - <a class="ulink" href="https://lists.debian.org/20090520092534.GG22906@earth.li";>Your key length must be greater than 1024 bits</a> -> -+ <a class="ulink" href="http://keyring.debian.org/creating-key.html";>Your key length must be greater or equal to 2048 bits</a>
