(Does it matter?) Well, it's just smaller... and many source package forms that prefer to include the "original package" itself (in order for it to be verifiable by hash or signature with the one on the upstream server) like cygwin packages would be smaller as well. But no, it does not matter *that* much nowadays, I'm just a bit paranoid ;-) (my philosophy is: if you can do it smaller/better/more you should do it) >> a detached GPG signature of the file. > Laziness? :-) > > (Also, I'm the one that rolls releases these days, and I don't have a > verifiable gpg key anyway...) If you're interested in improving your key reachability I may suggest exchanging signatures with Matt Zimmerman (and/or Cort Stratton and/or Doug Barton or others), they live in Los Angeles and are willing to meet people to exchange signatures, as implied by their presence on BigLumber: http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?sl=29
The three of them are connected to the SCC (strongly connected subset of GPG signatures graph), with Matt the stronger of the three (a mean distance of only 4 links from anyone else, a distance of 3 signatures from me). - -- Lapo Luchini [EMAIL PROTECTED] (OpenPGP & X.509) www.lapo.it (Jabber, ICQ, MSN) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.1 (Cygwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJEzutKAAoJELBiMTth2oCDRHIQAJqP3FZxFbJHjW5k2D3uGpw7 nkflf8ayQ9JQ/1eRvsclbDwW7kzA2m13k0YKNWCATcRsCQN8Fgv74o2eNI0Brbux 3lYqpoOEsMH1dVQLwV6EYdwHqcwTugAYKZQ8FRy2vwT+SK2W5miN2mIHlDO5lfbC TF08QvaV0QNxg/VxgYDvYeeESnF2l3Vi3acRuwW40CJZnPJHOuZ3/NebUyrYGyg5 IlMSBzdFtF9Twxqi82E9bSMLhiqrVkSlobpidt3kdsqL0K83GGFAKjZGE4WL0fV8 cbkUIjA9pGi+agl12vb2uDY+idTxPMi0R7C2MOptCv0ZxI5XgRaPmz/qRD9HVDoo nAeNpekueu7uaJdDtPJmHdPQlygo13tAybLe5C3oQ/z281SbsRPPv4FoG8faLmHo dY7XpR+TdN64tsf/9bZXK/vuf30RiHAt+DMSrgBuiAQVoXLIKa2R67tTqosCRAQT W0C7yHXHd+7AiW/CFM4Wcd35rOgBh/G8aZX5tVjhE3g12yZsbbfx3BU+ObhLp8DB Di+maU4nnlV5Bslm440mfLonWTOI5Z9sdOTNJwd01+ZTy6iU1SSZonlN9XVI6hih NLDm7tO2RbE5jAGp6wmskIZDDtJQOwq3pjOiQ/sDvqFIHl+p40L0+aacB7AF9+mF ZhkZ1uJfVpNFDxzkuZS2 =acbn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
