====== Non-DD to DD steps ======

**Description:** If you've been collaborating to Debian as a non-DD and then you become a DD with uploading rights, you have to do some changes in all your configurations. Here you have the changes I did.

**Language(s):** English

</WRAP>

===== Mail =====

Create a new identity in your mail client with the appropiate //From:// header. For example, if you use mutt, in ''.mutt/muttrc'': 

  set from="ddnick@debian.org"

===== GPG key =====


Add an id to your gpg key:

  $ gpg --edit-key your_key
  ...
  gpg> adduid
  Real name: your_real_name
  Email address: ddnick@debian.org
  Comment: 
  ...
  Change (N)ame, (C)omment, (E)mail or (O)kay/(Q)uit? o
  ...
  gpg> save

If you wish, set primary uid:

  $ gpg --edit-key your_key
  ...
  gpg> uid id_of_the_primary_key
  ...
  gpg> primary
  ...
  gpg> save

Send key to key server:

  $ gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --send-key your_key


===== DEBEMAIL =====

Update ''.bashrc'':

  export DEBEMAIL=ddnick@debian.org

===== Send RSA key =====

First, maybe you want to generate a new RSA pair of keys:

  $ ssh-keygen
  Generating public/private rsa key pair.
  Enter file in which to save the key (/home/name/.ssh/id_rsa): /home/name/.ssh/id_rsa.debian
  ...

Then send it to changes@db.debian.org :

  $ cat .ssh/id_rsa.debian.pub | gpg --clearsign | mail -s "Sending RSA key" changes@db.debian.org -- -f ddnick@debian.org

You'll receive a confirmation mail.

See https://db.debian.org/doc-mail.html for more info.

If you want that ''id_rsa.debian'' is the key by default:

  mv id_rsa id_rsa.other
  mv id_rsa.pub id_rsa.other.pub
  cp id_rsa.debian id_rsa
  cp id_rsa.debian.pub id_rsa.pub

When you connect to Debian machines, the fingreprint of the machine will be shown and you must check it in: https://db.debian.org/machines.cgi. Click on the machine you're interested in to see more details.

===== Alioth =====


See http://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/FAQ?action=show&redirect=AliothFAQ#How_can_I_migrate_my_-guest_account_to_my_new_official_Debian_account_.3F

===== VCS repos =====


If you had a good config like this in ''.ssh/config'':

  Host git.debian.org svn.debian.org alioth.debian.org
  User nick-guest

You only have to change your debian nick:

  Host git.debian.org svn.debian.org alioth.debian.org
  User ddnick

If not, do previous config and change your remote branches. If you use ''git'': 

  $ git remote -v
  alioth ssh://nick-guest@git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/your_package.git (fetch)
  alioth ssh://nick-guest@git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/your_package.git (push)
  $ git remote rm alioth
  $ git remote add alioth ssh://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/xsol.git
  $ git remote -v
  alioth ssh://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/your_package.git (fetch)
  alioth ssh://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/your_package.git (push)

Update ''.gitconfig'':

  [user]
        name = Your Name
        email = ddnick@debian.org

If you don't want this mail as the global one, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9063176/git-multiple-user-names-for-the-different-projects-within-the-same-system

===== Lists =====

if you want, subscribe with your new mail and unsubscribe with the other one, but it's not necessary as lists.d.o are open.


===== First uploads =====

''debian/control'': change the Maintainer field with your new mail.

''debian/changelog'': Annotate the debian/control change :-)

No more:

  dput mentors package*.changes

Now:
