52 Welcome Daniel!
53
54 As Andrew stated, there is an on-going project for managing gpg related
55 tasks, keys within Gentoo. In fact I've started doing some code
56 changes to integrate gkeys for Manifest verification to both portage
57 and pkgcore already.
58
59 Project: Gentoo-keys
60 IRC: #gentoo-keys
61 Apps: app-crypt/gkeys, app-crypt/gkeys-gen, gkeys-ldap
62 Keyrings: app-crypt/gentoo-keys (Gentoo release media keys)
63
64 Join us for discussion, coding, fixing your gpg key to meet GLEP 63
65 spec requirements, etc...
