(saves embarrasements.) so, i tend to initially put a notice saying that the release is not yet available and then remove it once i've tested the downloads. "The PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG. First download the KEYS as well as the asc signature file for the relevant distribution. Make sure you get these files from our main distribution directory, rather than from a mirror (the asc and md5 links below take you to the main distribution directory). Then verify the signatures using, for example" i've found that users find sums easier than signatures. most users will not be strongly connected to the apache web of trust. so they are going to need to understand how to interpret the results. if you recommend checking signatures, considering copying or linking to some of the content on http://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html#faq. > When we get the go ahead it's left from me to upload the artifacts to > www.apache.org/dist/incubator/tuscany/, set the correct group and > permissions as documented and then integrate the new release page into the > Tuscany web site. yep (it's not really a go-ahead, more a make-sure-you-know-what-you're-doing) you're planning to use the dynamic script?
