Regarding PGP Keys
Hi,
I have set up PGP keys (locally and on mit pgp server server) as required,
in the release page, but was wondering what if the actual use for it?
Though I know that they are used to encrypt emails.
Thanks.

Cool, whenever you have the PGP keys entered, I think you can start the release
process. The script should take care of most things, and prompt you for various
things. If you have any questions you can just leave the script up, and ask
here or on IRC.

The release script will sign the final Allura release file with PGP. Its
another way in addition to md5 and sha1 checks to know the release is official.
With PGP keys you can sign each others keys and form a "web of trust" too.
Can you put your public key fingerprint on your account at
https://id.apache.org/ ? Then it will show up at
http://people.apache.org/keys/group/allura.asc And I think we'll want to copy
it to http://www.apache.org/dist/allura/KEYS manually too. Then people will
know your key is part of the Allura project.
