SOLVED: Re: trying to build openafs client and it needs a properly configured pgp?




I changed the /usr/src/linux/debian/rules file, added an environemt export,
and it worked.  I'm not sure which of the two is the exact fix.

In the makefile: changed maintainer-John F. Davis
In the shell: export KPKG_MAINTAINER="John F. Davis"

[You'll probably find that most people around here use gnupg (=gpg),
rather than gpg, as gnupg is truly free.]

Easy (at least for gnupg):

    $ gpg --gen-key

and follow the prompts. AFAIR pgp has something similar. Check the
manpage.
