retitle 223311 ITP: dpkg-sig -- create and verify signatures on .deb-files thanks
Hi, I announced the packaging of a low-level tool for creating and verification of signatures on deb-archive files with the name debsigs-ng. This name was criticized, because it looks like a fork of debsigs. So, I had some discussion on IRC. Some names were prefered in discussion. At the end, we had some dpkg-* names in discussion, as well as dpst (debian package signature tool) and trusted-deb. The last one left the discussion area as it promises rather too much - the tool is _not_ a high level tool that plugs into apt or dpkg, but it is just on the same level as dpkg-deb. dpst is IMHO rather too cryptic, so I decided to dpkg-sig. A preliminary version is apt-able at deb http://dpkg-sig.turmzimmer.net/dpkg-sig/ ./ deb-src http://dpkg-sig.turmzimmer.net/dpkg-sig/ ./ Cheers, Andi -- http://home.arcor.de/andreas-barth/ PGP 1024/89FB5CE5 DC F1 85 6D A6 45 9C 0F 3B BE F1 D0 C5 D1 D9 0C
