Hi Suresh, First off, thanks for the work in putting this together! What a great job.
That being said: how would I do a gpg key and verification check? And, how would I verify the MD5 checksums? Typically, we put up a copy of the dist artifacts that will end up on minotaur:/www/www.apache.org/dist/incubator/airavata in someone's people.a.o/~<user>/apache-airavata-<version>-rc-<num>/ folder, with: 1. source releases 2. MD5s and SHA1 and ASC files 3. (optional) binaries 4. (optional) CHANGES.txt file Then, 1-4 are what get copied to /www/www.apache.org/dist/incubator/airavata on successful VOTE completion. With your existing setup, I'm not sure how I would execute steps 1-2 to do checksum and signature verification. Let me know and I'd be happy to spend time reviewing the release.
