| 1. Generate key pair and revocation certificate. | |
| $ gpg --gen-key | |
| $ gpg --output revoke.asc --gen-revoke <key-id> | |
| 2. Export ASCII copy of the key (often useful!) | |
| $ gpg --export --armor <key-id> >pubkey.asc | |
| 3. Set new keyserver (default is busted on Linux Mint 12 -- others too?): e.g. hkp://stinkfoot.org | |
| $ vim $HOME/.gnupg/gpg.conf | |
| 4. Publish the public key: | |
| $ gpg --send-keys <key-id> |
