Having just talked a user through the gpg verification steps for the CDs,
I've got a few suggestions for the web page with the instructions on how
to verify the CD contents:

1/ long key IDs:
it would be good to include the long key id rather than the short key id. The
long key id is present in the fingerprint but not in a form that can be
copy/pasted into gpg --recv-keys for those not already on Debian systems. The
necessary gpg options are

Thanks for your proposal.
I've taken the liberty to adapt it to the wml format, with slight rewrites and
adding some more layout, and provide a patch (see attached the current
verify.wml file, the new one, and the diff).

Please take into account that we already another open bug about this page:

#851541 www.debian.org: "CD/verify should include long key IDs"

The attached patch could solve in my opinion, the third and fourth requests of
that bug, so I'm CC'ing it too.

Cheers

Hi,

I've reviewed the proposed patch, and I think it should be applied as
soon as possible.

It seems Laura was waiting for a final review before applying this patch
(long overdue!), which IMHO would bring much more clarity to the image
verification process (usually, a big struggle to new users).

We should make a decision about the long key IDs request (points 1 and 2
from #851541), and once those changes go online, I think both bugs could
be closed (#902668 and #851541).

Thanks for all who have invested energy to clarify this process, and I
hope we can benefit from your work very soon!

Cheers,

Tassia.
