Great! I got my #nolife back! #OpenPGP expiration dates bumped! I need to send critical bug fixes for Linux 6.10 and it is my first holiday week, so was a crap timing... #holiday #life

@duxsco I've considered unlimited expiration dates but this enforces me to do inventory for my db ;-) so i bump them like 2-3 years in future when this happens. e.g. now i revoked couple of keys that i no longer possess, now that i had anyway had to do this dance.

@duxsco primary key migration is something I've never even looked at. It's essentially a new identity. I e.g. wonder can you migrate the trust from one primary key to another, if I ever need to do that. I guess my RSA-4096 identity will hold for some time tho :-)

@jarkko chances are Linus won't have your updated key with new expiration imported, and consequently yell at you.

@vbabka I think I have good alibi for this:

1. Came from holiday the analyze and fix the bug.
2. My OpenPGP expired at the same time.

It's IMHO a race condition ;-)

@jarkko he'd prefer if people had no expiration at all :/

@vbabka anyway it is updated and I don't think Linus has yet checked my PR thanks to 10h difference between Finland and West Coast ;-) https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/kernel/pgpkeys.git/plain/keys/3AB05486C7752FE1.asc

@vbabka And TBH I'm zero worried. I did right things as right as possible given the circumstances. If I don't have to figure out explanations and stories for my actions, I usually do not tend to worry about anything :-)

@vbabka It went in as I guessed with zero commentary. I had legit standing point and came from Holiday to fix a bug :D Now I head back trying to forget all this noise...

@jarkko maybe Linus only complains to @jejb about expired keys then ;)

@vbabka I think James dd a great job to be totally honest :-) I mean it was a big infrastructural change when you add an extra layer to a transmission path and with a single major collapse the overall result is on the positive side. Especially since the fixes landed *before* the release. Zero complains, this is just my part of the job...
