Re: [tbb-dev] TBB gpg signing key rotation plans?

Patrick Schleizer:

Hi,

do you have a schedule for changing to newer TBB gpg signing keys?

I am asking, because torbrowser downloaders developers such as of torbrowser-launcher, tb-updater and sandboxed-tor-browser would ideally know about in advance.

There is no schedule for that other than rotating the signing subkey roughly once a year (if we think the current signing key is not safe to use anymore we'll do this transition earlier, of course). And it won't happen within a point release. I guess planning to do so for every .5 series might be a good thing. This change will always be tested in the alpha channel first as it was done this time as well.
