Email addresses wrt keys on PPA
Can I please clarify the situation wrt email addresses and signing when working with PPAs ?
There seems four relevant email addresses -
The address associated with my Launchpad account
The address on my PGP key that I have added to my Launchpad account
The address that appears in debian/changelog in a src dep package
The address that appears in the Maintainer field of the debian/control file, build section.
Do all four need to be the same ? If not all four, which ones do need to match ?
The reason I ask is I would prefer to use an email address associated with my project rather than my personal email address. But my Launchpad account already has my personal email address, so, in my testing phase, I have stuck with that.
The project specific address is a valid address, it forwards to me and its already associated with a key I use for signing rpm files for example. Its RSA, 3072 bytes.
I don't want to create a new launchpad account in the project name (not even sure yet if its permitted) but if all are to match, I guess I have to consider it ?
