Hi,
I already have an account on sourceware.org and my login name is: fyang
Unfortunately, my computer is broken. So I am switching to a new computer for development. Then I need to update the ssh public key.
Could you please tell me the correct way to do that?
Thanks for your help.
Felix

You should make a backup of your SSH private key to avoid this kind of
problem.
If you do not have a backup, you will have to send a new public key to
this mailing list.

Hi,
Thanks for the timely reply.
Yes, I have a backup of the private key in my USB device.
Does this help in any way?
Best regards,
Felix

Yes, that means that you still contact gcc.gnu.org. Using the private
key, you can run
ssh gcc.gnu.org append-key < new-public-key
or you can replace the existing key with
ssh gcc.gnu.org replace-key < new-public-key
You can test whether SSH works with your private key with
ssh gcc.gnu.org alive

Why not just move the private key into your .ssh directory and continue
to use it as you always did?
