[Fwd: Getting all projects to sign releases - Forrest, Xindice]

Is there any info in how to sign a release?
Do we need only to provide a pgp KEY?

Cheers,
Cheche

CheChe,

An MD5 key would be much better. The purpose of the signature is to be
irreversable (PGP does not suffice). The basic purpose is that if you
receive a document, generate a key, that generated key should match the one
you receive to prove that the document you received is intact, i.e. exactly
the same as the one the original key was generated with.
