Following setup is performed only once.  Check README.txt from https://github.com/apache/ignite-release/tree/master/scripts This readme file contains some additional requirement and setup steps.

1. If you don’t have your Apache key set up, please see https://www.apache.org/dev/openpgp.html#home on how to generate a new key.

Steps to be followed:

• Setup gpg home (optional) and configuration file (gpg.conf) according to the page.
• Check version and settings using `gpg --version` (version >1.4.1, SHA512 is recommended).
• Generate new key pair `gpg --gen-key` Parameters: RSA/4096/never expires/use your name and apache email/comment: `CODE SIGNING KEY`. Let's suppose generated key name is 612654F7.
• Check preferences using `gpg --edit-key 612654F7` and sub-command `showpref`

2. Export key to Apache SVN. See section 'Create/Import your pgp secret key' in Readme.txt in https://github.com/apache/ignite-release/tree/master/scripts

• Make sure you have SVN client. You can install TortoiseSVN for convenience (don’t forget to select command line tools for having svn executable). Alternatively, you can install SVN package from https://subversion.apache.org/packages.html

Steps to be followed:

• Use SVN Checkout from https://dist.apache.org - it is SVN repository. For saving time you can check out only subfolder https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/ignite
• Change dir to Apahe Ignite Release directory in this repository 'cd ./dist.apache.org/release/ignite`
• Export key to end of file, it is convinitent to use this commands

gpg --list-sigs 612654F7 >> KEYS
gpg --armor --export 612654F7 >> KEYS

• Do SVN commit using Apache login & password. You may check results at https://apache.org/dist/ignite/KEYS

Export the key to a Public Key Server

To publish key follow instructions from https://www.apache.org/dev/openpgp.html#publish-in-web-space

You may use

gpg --send-key 612654F7

alternatively, you

- can export key to an .asc file (gpg --armor --export 6F6F6F6F > key.asc)

- and submit the key file content manually to a public key server.

For example, at MIT server you can just paste asc file content to a text field and submit: to http://pgp.mit.edu/ or to http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/
