easy-signing-party: a simple tool to replace caff

Hi,

I wrote a small tool to replace caff, the tool in the Debian signing-party package. I use a small C program to extract the signed UIDs in an OpenPGP public key package, then use a shell script to encrypt and send it to the participant in a signing party. It has few dependencies. You just need a C compiler to build it and a shell to run it.

Sorry for my rough code

Sorry for my rough code

This is not inspiring when paired with a tool that apparently auotmates signing and thus influences trusted keys and whatnot.

But more on point, isn't caff a debian tool?  What use is it here?  Or is this just spam?

EDIT: sorry if I misunderstood, please consider presenting your contributions with a consideration of the audience.

Re: easy-signing-party: a simple tool to replace caff

While caff is available for Arch Linux, I do not see this tool being available for Arch users. Also, I do not understand the need to reference Debian. mytbk, Community Contributions is intended for the benefit of the users of Arch. Please make this package available on AUR.
