Package: signing-party
Version: 1.1.3-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi there!

My usual workflow for a KSP is the following:

1) I print the gpgparticipants-created list on as few papers as possible
2) during the keysigning, I tick the various keys I will sign, if needed
   with comments
3) later on (it can be the very same day or weeks later), I report what
   I manually wrote on the paper list into a OpenPGP-encrypted version of
   the same list, including tick signs and comments
4) I parse the digital list and feed the result to caff
5) during caff's work, I check the digital list for comments

Point 4) is the most critical one: AFAIK there is no automatic tool to
do it, so I still use a pipeline Zack (X-Debbugs-Cc:ed) suggested me
back at DebConf6:

  $ grep -A 1 '\[x\].*\[x\]' $FILE | grep ^pub | cut -c 13-20

This generates a list of all keys to be signed, one per line, which
however caff does not accept, given that it expects keys as last
argument separated by spaces.  However, the following does not work
either:

  $ grep -A 1 '\[x\].*\[x\]' $FILE | grep ^pub | cut -c 13-20 | \
     tr '\n' ' ' | caff -u $KEY 

Finally, everything works with a "lesser" pipe:

  $ caff -u $KEY $(grep -A 1 '\[x\].*\[x\]' $FILE | grep ^pub | \
     cut -c 13-20 | tr '\n' ' ')

While I do not mind having a local script that does the above, I think
it would be good to have a simpler tool for newbies.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
