[PLUG] Out-of-sync gpg keys?


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I have a question. My public key in the PLUG keyring (at
http://www.phillylinux.org/keys) is out of date. I have new uids on
my key; I have new non-PLUG signatures on my key. The key on the
keyserver at keyserver.pgp.com is up-to-date, however.

Now, we're having a keysigning tonight. Since the PLUG members will
probably get my key form the PLUG keyring, and sign it, and then
re-upload it to Darxus, the out-of-sync-ness will only get worse.

What's the best way to resolve that? If Darxus gets an updated copy
of my key from the keyserver, should he "gpg --import" it? Will that
then just add in the differences between his copy of the key, and the
keyserver's copy? Or will it overwrite his copy with the keyserver's
copy?

If it integrates the 2 copies, he should then re-upload my key to the
keyserver (since his will now have the new PLUG signings from
tonight), yes?
