On the other hand, we should probably kill the (unused) VC-tag rule in maint.mk; it's use of $(gpg_key_ID) is now circular - how do you sign a tag using the key of the tag that you just signed? Also, should build-aux/do- release-commit-and-tag be taught to honor a command-line option and/or inspect git configuration for determining which key to use, especially now that maint.mk might not have any record of a preferred key? Or at least document in its --help how to teach git your preferred key for a given repository? > I am still hoping there's some obscure gpg option > that can explicitly extract the key ID from a signature. Sorry, can't help there. -- Eric Blake
