+7. Tarball signing
+
+ (depending on whether you use GPG or PGP, pick the first or the
+ second set of the commands):
a. sign your local copy of the tarball:
- % gpg --detach-sign --armor mod_perl-1.99_09.tar.gz
+
+ % gpg --detach-sign --armor mod_perl-1.99_11.tar.gz
+
+ % pgps -b --armor mod_perl-1.99_11.tar.gz
+

- % scp mod_perl-1.99_09.tar.gz.asc www.apache.org:/www/perl.apache.org/dist/
+
+ % scp mod_perl-1.99_11.tar.gz.asc www.apache.org:/www/perl.apache.org/dist/

+ /www/perl.apache.org/dist/mod_perl-2.0-current.tar.gz.asc
+
c. ask one of the other developers to double check the signature file
and tarball: download both files and verify the signature:
- % gpg --verify mod_perl-1.99_09.tar.gz.asc
+
+ % gpg --verify mod_perl-1.99_11.tar.gz.asc
