Axis KEYS
Hi All,
I'm trying to put up a new Axis release 1.6b onto Minotaur but I
don't have the keys to create the .asc files. Does anyone know anything
about this and how I can create the .asc files?
Regards,
Fred Preston.

The keys used to sign a release belong to the release manager. If you are
the release manager, you should use your keys. Damitha's instructions
explain how to create a pair of keys. Ideally you should get someone else
who knows you to validate your keys (its based on a "web of trust").

To create a key pair
gpg --gen-key
This will be stored in ~/.gnupg
But I think you need to reuse the key pair used to release the earlier
release.
If you insist on creating a new key add this to the KEYS file
example.
gpg --armor --export axis2cteam@gmail.com > MY_KEYS
copy the entry in MY_KEYS to KEYS file in the apache release folder
to create .asc files use for example
gpg --armor --output axis2c-src-M0.4.tar.gz.asc --detach-sig
axis2c-src-M0.4.tar.gz
