[io] Release question

I've cut a release for 1.0 and tagged it and am ready to call for a vote
etc, but I also need to ask about PGP. I previously signed things with a
key that was on icarus and is now lost. Is there any problem with me
generating a new key? I've heard something about revoking keys etc.

Reminds me yet again that I need to figure out pgp signing my email too.

Yep, I agree and now have a private build machine I can keep it on. Just
need to investigate how to migrate keys, especially if it's between pgp
and gpg.

(the last thing i heard was that) the infrastructure advice on key 
management best practice was that private keys for key signing should 
not be stored on ASF machines.

(the reasoning is that if the ASF machine is ever compromised, all keys 
stored on that machine would be suspect and therefore every release 
signed with that key would also be suspect. if release managers 
carefully store their own private keys then this attack requires a 
compromise of both the ASF machine and the local machine on which the 
release manager stores the private key.)

personally, i'm now considering keeping my code signing private key on 
removable media with a hard copy backup.

Noel's helped me out. Seems it was migrated to the new machine. Could have
sworn it wasn't working anymore :)
