Hello,

I'm sorry if I'm asking something well-known; I wasn't able to find any
information about this.

I know that setting an expiration date for a key is a good security preca=
ution.
On the other hand, exchanging signatures is a lot of effort, and a PITA t=
o have
to do again every time your key expires.

So I would hope there is some method of "transfering" the signatures you =
have
gathered on your old key to a new key pair. Or is this only possible indi=
rectly
by signing the new key with the old before the old one expires?

Thanks,
-Christoph
