Hello,

Here is a minimal and straightforward reply:
First, you need GPG (www.gnupg.org).
Then:
- launch gpg to create a key
- launch it again if it was the first time you ran it
- press enter 3 times
- type 'o' and validate
- enter your e-mail, name, and a comment (eg beuc@beuc.net, Sylvain Beucler, Savannah Key)
- type 'O' and validate
- enter a passphrase. It is a long password that will protect your key. Do not forget it!
- retype it again
The key is ready.

Now you can type:
gpg --export -a -email is unavailable-
and upload the resulting key to your account at https://savannah.gnu.org/account/change.php?item=gpgkey

How can I generate my pgp key? I don't find a howto in the FAQ.

Thx.
