+Updating a DD key
+=================
+
+- Key updates should be for a reason (i.e. lost control of earlier
+ key, or moving to stronger key).
+
+- Request must include:
+ - Old key (full fingerprint)
+ - New key (full fingerprint)
+ - Inline signature with OLD key
+
+- New key must be signed by at least two DDs (and more if possible);
+ if the old key is particularly well connected, we have requested the
+ person to get more signatures in order to avoid weakening the
+ overall web of trust. The new key must also be signed with the old
+ one (except in cases, say, where the old one was lost).
+
+- Procedure
+
+ I am following the request for Giovanni Mascellani (RT #2473). Of
+ course, replace keys with adequate values. As you can see, this
+ request mentioned only the key IDs, so full fingerprint was
+ requested.
+
+ # Before anything else, retrieve both keys, to be able to do the
+ # following checks
+ $ gpg --keyserver $KEYSERVER --recv-key \

+
+ - Helper script
+
+ We have a script called "replace-key". When called, it takes care to
+ do all of the steps described from here until the commit step.
+
+ You should call it using both keys' long (64 bit) keyids:
+
+ $ ./script/replace-key FCB0BB5C5F1FBF70 9EDCC991D9AB457E
+
+
+ $ gpg --export D9AB457E > /tmp/key
+ # DD keys (past and present), names and identities are kept in
+ # the plaintext file 'keyids' - Confirm and get the requester's
+ # Debian account name in case it's not listed as one of the
+ # identities
+
+ $ grep 5F1FBF70 keyids
+ 0xFCB0BB5C5F1FBF70 Giovanni Mascellani <gio>
+ # Old keys are removed from the repository.
+
+ $ git rm debian-keyring-gpg/0xFCB0BB5C5F1FBF70
+ rm 'debian-keyring-gpg/0xFCB0BB5C5F1FBF70'
+
+ $ ./scripts/add-key /tmp/key debian-keyring-gpg/
+ # A screen listing all of the requester's signatures which are
+ # in the Debian keyring appears. At very least, two DD should
+ # have signed his key, unless specific reasons
+ # (i.e. geographical) have been already discussed. Take note of
+ # the respective key IDs. If they are too many, just note the
+ # first four or five, in this case: F2C423BC 33FC40A4.
+ # Also take note that the old key (5F1FBF70) has also signed
+ # it.
+ Are you sure you want to update this key? (y/n)
+ y
+ adding debian-keyring-gpg/0x9EDCC991D9AB457E
+ Enter full name of new key: Giovanni Mascellani
+ Enter Debian login of new key: gio
+
+ # Note this addition in debian/changelog - Just make sure before
+ # doing this you are not modifying an already uploaded changelog
+ # entry!
+ $ dch -a 'Replace 0xFCB0BB5C5F1FBF70 with 0x9EDCC991D9AB457E (Giovanni Mascellani) (RT #2473)'
+
+- Git commit
+
+ In order for the parse-git-changelog script to work, we adhere to
+ machine-parsable information in the changelog. If you used the
+ replace-key script, you will find it creates a git-commit-template
+ file. It just needs you to fill in the Debian user IDs for the
+ New-key-certified-by field.
