Signing-Party 0.3.0
-------------------

To improve the web of trust, so-called signing parties are held at various
occasions, where people meet, drink beer and exchange their PGP/GnuPG
fingerprints. This package contains two scripts useful in conjunction with
these parties:

* gpg-key2ps generates a PostScript file with small paper strips that contain
the output of gpg --list-keys (only prettier). You simply print this file, cut
the strips at the lines and you're set for the signing party.

* gpg-mailkeys is used after the party. When you've signed a key, this script
will send the new signature to the key owner via mail.


gpg-key2ps
----------

Usage: gpg-key2ps [-p papersize] [-r revoked-style] keyid-or-name

revoked-style is one of:
  grey   - Print text in grey
  hide   - Don't show revoked uids
  note   - Add "(revoked)"
  show   - List revoked uids normally
  strike - Strike through lines

Output is PostScript which can be sent to e.g. the lpr command.


gpg-mailkeys
------------

Given one or more key-id's, gpg-mailkeys mails these keys to their owners. You
use this after you've signed them. By default, the mails contain a standard
text and your name and address as the From (as determined by the sendmail
command).

You can modify how this script behaves by putting a .gpg-mailkeysrc file in
your homedir. An example of this file is provided with this document.
