What is it?
I was a bit daunted by the number of mails from people signing my gpg keys at debconf, so I wrote a script to mass process them. The workflow, for those of you using notmuch is as follows:
$ notmuch show --format=mbox tag:keysign > sigs.mbox
$ ffac sigs.mbox
where previously I have tagged keysigning emails as "keysign" if I want to import them. You also need to run gpg-agent, since I was too lazy/scared to deal with passphrases.
This will import them into a keyring in ~/.ffac; uploading is still
manual using something like
$ gpg --homedir=$HOME/.ffac --send-keys $keyid
UPDATE Before you upload all of those shiny signatures, you might
want to use the included script fetch-sig-keys to add the
corresponding keys to the temporary keyring in ~/.ffac.
After
$ fetch-sig-keys $keyid
then
$ gpg --homedir ~/.ffac --list-sigs $keyid
should have a UID associated with each signature.
How do I use it
At the moment this is has been tested once or twice by one
person. More testing would be great, but be warned this is pre-release
software until you can install it with apt-get.
Get the script from
$ git clone git://pivot.cs.unb.ca/git/ffac.git
Get a patched version of Mail::GnuPG that supports
gpg-agent; hopefully this will make it upstream, but for now,$ git clone git://pivot.cs.unb.ca/git/mail-gnupg.git
I have a patched version of the debian package that I could make available if there was interest.
Install the other dependencies.
# apt-get install libmime-parser-perl libemail-folder-perl
UPDATED
2011/07/29 libmail-gnupg-perl in Debian supports gpg-agent for some time now.
