It's quite right but PGP is not a tool for signing but also a tool for encrypting. So PGP is probably forbidden. But don't stress there are quite a lot of people who use PGP in France and there has never been any problem AFAIK. For more information about the laws, you could have a look (it's in French) at http://www.aui.fr/Projets/Crypto/crypto-faq.html > also pgp only wait a cerytain tilme for the pass phrase, so i can not let the > thing compile at night time, and then wake up in the morning to sign it. > Wrong. Look at the build manpage : If you find that dpkg-buildpackage is still prompting you for a pgp password then set the environent variable PGP PASS to the password you use and it will work completely without asking any questions. Note that doing this on a multiuser system is a potential problem since other users might find ways to have a look at your environment set tings in .profile, through the /proc interface, with ps or with some other means. See the pgp documentation for more details on the issue. Cheers, -- Hertzog Raphaël ¤ 0C4CABF1 ¤ http://www.mygale.org/~hra/
