            Bug ID: 794622
           Summary: RFE:  'ftpadmin install' should allow install of a
                    detached GPG signature file alongside each tarball
    Classification: Infrastructure
           Product: sysadmin
           Version: unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Other

     GNOME version: ---

I want to be able to provide GPG signatures for tarballs of gtk-vnc I upload,
but the 'ftpadmin install' only appears to want tarballs as arguments.

It should allow maintainer to provide a detached signature with a name of
'$TARBALL.asc', and upload that to the ftp site. This is more trustworthy than
the checksums ftpadmin creates, which can be easily tampered with at same time
as the tarballs by a malicious actor.

This would of course mean the maintainer must provide the tarball in tar.xz
format, so that ftpadmin doesn't try do tarball recompression, but that's
reasonable enough.

eg I would like todo

    ftpadmin install gtk-vnc-0.7.2.tar.xz gtk-vnc-0.7.2.tar.xz.asc
