Issue #1777 has been updated by Luke Kanies.

Ok, I think I've done everything in this, including sending my public key to 
the listed keyserver.

Feature #1777: Please provide cryptographically authenticated package downloads

Target version: 0.25.2
Affected version: 0.24.6

Branch: 


The 
"DownloadingPuppet":http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/DownloadingPuppet 
page provides the release tarballs for puppet. These should be accompanied by a 
cryptographic authentication mechanism for verifying the source integrity. 
Preferably by providing detached OpenPGP signatures of the release tarball 
(like the linux kernel "provides":http://kernel.org/signature.html), or by 
providing a cryptographic hash verification.

Without this, there is no way to ensure that any given tarball, or file on this 
page, is a legitimate uncompromised copy of the source that the puppet project 
is releasing. All it takes is for someone to compromise a development host, and 
upload a modified tarball release to effectively compromise a very large 
segment of managed infrastructure that depends on puppet.
