(the version of the package is what I believe is the most relevant missing information). * And what about letting the package uploaders upload the screenshots of their packages on their own without requiring any further moderation? all is needed is a maintainer-gpg key relationship and some sort of incoming queue where images are uploaded (packagename_version.ext) and then the output of md5sum foo_0.1.png bar_0.2.png | gpg --clearsign is uploaded (or sha1sum if you are paranoid). This has the following advantages: a) batch image uploads can be done, b) no interaction is required via the web interface, c) validating the incoming data is as simple as running gpg with the DDs and DMs --keyring, md5sum -c mybatchupload.asc, and then making sure the key owner has upload rights for those packages. > > Cheers > Christoph Cheers, Raphael Geissert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
