push right for trivial commits

Hello,

I finally have my savannah account recovered after forgetting about it
for a year[0]. Can I have push right for trivial commits (e.g. version
bumps)? Do I need to give my GPG key?

I’ve added you to the group on Savannah, so you now have commit access.

Please upload the OpenPGP key you will use to sign commits to Savannah,
and reply with a message signed with this key.

Also, please read the ‘HACKING’ file, which defines the rules for commit
access.

Thank you, and welcome aboard!  :-)

I receive the following error message when I test my uploaded openpgp
key:

  gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmp.0pv00NrtVS/secring.gpg' created
  gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmp.0pv00NrtVS/pubring.gpg' created
  gpg: key 3AE3FB38: no valid user IDs
  gpg: this may be caused by a missing self-signature
  gpg: Total number processed: 1
  gpg:           w/o user IDs: 1

I'll send a bug report to the Savannah admin.

Are you by any chance using an EC key?

By “uploading”, I meant you have to manually paste the ASCII-armored
output to the Savannah web interface; there’s no key server there.

HTH!

Yes, I am using a ECC key. Does it work with Savannah?

I should have mentioned that I'd sent a bug report to Savannah:
https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?109583

In the discussion, it was mentioned that the GnuPG version installed on
Savannah is 1.4.16. Therefore, savannah cannot send encrypted messages
to me using my ECC key. However, I am not sure about signing commits
with ECC key. Does it works in Savannah?

Yes, you can still use your ECC key to sign commits. This is a feature
of Git, not Savannah, so it shouldn't matter which version of GnuPG
Savannah is using internally. As far as I know, Savannah doesn't do
anything related to Git commit signing.

At the moment? Not at all.
I've had this discussion with the savannah admin, they expected to
update their gnupg at earliest sometime in 2019.

If you have added the ECC key already it might happen that your
key won't work at all after a correction, so you need to contact
the admin anyway (so that they can fix your key/account).

Thanks everyone for the help! I've pushed my 1st commit as
c991806a7d9817c8c204dfd0813144aa0ea96c57. This is the first time I ever
push to a repo not own by myself!

Besides, you can follow this bug report[0] for ECC key support in
Savannah (I'm unaware that Nils previously had discussion with the admin
as well).

Hmm?  I think it neither works nor doesn’t work with Savannah because
AIUI Savannah simply stores the keys.  Or am I missing something?

Thanks,

My only experience with savannah and infrastructure of GNU wrt keys is
ftp access.  ftp access is linked to the key you keep in your savannah
profile.
At first I started with an ed25519 key. This lead to the savannah /
ftp admin realizing that ed25519 is not yet supported on the OS and
its gnupg version, and it threw off savannah, required a manual fix of
my profile.

I think ECC key works with commit signing precisely because commit
signing simply requires Savannah to store the key. However, for
functionalities provided by Savannah (e.g. sending email to your address
encrypted with your ECC public key), it wouldn't work (as mentioned in
<https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?109583>).

OK, I didn’t know about this feature.  Thanks for explaining!

To clarify, Savannah doesn't require you to store any key at all in
order to sign Git commits. I think that Savannah accounts don't
integrate with Git at all; they simply offer hosted Git repositories,
and commit signing is a feature of Git.

We require Guix contributors to upload their keys to their Savannah
account so that there is an authoritative source of signing keys.

I see, so it's a guix policy rather than a technical
requirement. Indeed, we can download the key from
<https://savannah.gnu.org/users/********>
