Re: Problem with XML-Xerces-1.5.3 and GuPG key verification

Hey Krzysztof,

Thanks for actually going through the verification steps. Everything
is working fine (see below). Thanks for finding the documentation
error.

Oh... I must have mixed them up. I'll change the documentation.

Nothing is wrong, you recieved the 'Good Signature'. The issue is
*you* have not indicated that my key is trusted, which is good. You
don't know me, and you don't know the key you downloaded from the
keyserver is really my key, so why would you trust it? My key is
signed by another debian developer, Barak Pearlmutter, but you don't
know him either, so he is not trusted. Trust is something that you
must supply to a key.

For those that care, the only way to ensure the key is really from me
is to meet me face-to-face and have me verify my key fingerprint, or
if you knew me, you could call me on the phone.

jas.
