Subject: Releases signed by Phil's key, not Nigel's.
X-Git-Tag: exim-4_81_RC1~3^2~66
X-Git-Url: https://git.exim.org/users/heiko/exim.git/commitdiff_plain/40167b055c6f7c2168941524ca6af08674dfbbb7?hp=6abc190a70df97fc85e53192a62a61981c77fede

Releases signed by Phil's key, not Nigel's.

State a more general policy of PGP signing, mention trust paths, cite
the main public keyserver pool, provide a link to a trustpath display
between Nigel's key and Phil's.

Provide Phil's current PGP keyid (noting will change in 2013).

Bounce via a redirector, on Phil's security site, because:
 (1) xfpt barfs on &url(..) where the URL contains an ampersand
 (2) No ampersands means less debugging across various platforms
 (3) The redirector is https: with a public cert, where www.exim.org
     does not have a cert (with that name, at this time).

All keys cited in 0xLong form (16 hex characters).

Nits:
 (1) URL is given with https:// on one line, the rest on the next
 (2) using alt text does not give the URL in the .txt format, despite
     the docs, because we build .txt from w3m -dump, so the HTML form is
     used.
 (3) Ideally, we'll get around to having https://www.exim.org/ exist and
     be usable for this redirect.

Side-effects:
 (1) My name is in The Spec for the first time. :)

+The distributions will be PGP signed by an individual key of the Release
+Coordinator.  This key will have a uid containing an email address in the
+&'exim.org'& domain and will have signatures from other people, including
+other Exim maintainers.  We expect that the key will be in the "strong set" of
+PGP keys.  There should be a trust path to that key from Nigel Metheringham's
+PGP key, a version of which can be found in the release directory in the file
