Have a look here:

A better comment would be the URL where to download your public key.


If you are talking about the comment in your UID, you would need to
creat a new UID to do that but you are better off without the one that
you want to use or without a comment altogether.

Even better would be using "--sig-keyserver-url" to embed the URL in an
appropriate packet.

Details here:
https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/GPG-Esoteric-Options.html

Note that unless "honor-keyserver-url" is set in the config explicitly
this is not used by default by GnuPG (see comments about
"auto-key-retrieve" here:
https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/GPG-Configuration-Options.html
).

And, if the key is available via WKD using "--sender $EMAIL" as GnuPG
can fetch the missing key over WKD (using only --auto-key-retrieve).

Kind regards,
Wiktor

Thank you Wiktor,

There's no examples how to use the --comment command - I've tried
various options - aall confuse gpg/gpg2 :)

All I want to do is add a comment in site-admin "The captain's (B)log"
open and closed brackets (B)Log confuse gpg/2 even more.

Being a bit "eccentric" david@gbenet.com "One Flew Over the Cookoo's
Nest" would be good :)

Would the --comment command add it to the private and public key??

There's very little info on the usage of the command or what it actually
does.

Regards

David

I think it would maybe add it at the top of an ascii armoured
keyblock, after the "-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----" line.
