No Excuses for No Signatures
We all owe thanks to Peter Torr for bringing the issue of
digitally signed downloads back to our attention. Microsoft
loves them, but they make even more sense for open-source
projects.
With open-source projects anyone can make a modified copy.
Combine that with the fact that these files could be
appearing from almost anywhere and it's clear that open
source needs some sort of system to let users verify the
authenticity of programs they download.
