First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify tar-1.32.tar.gz.sig If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it: gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 3602B07F55D0C732 and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command. Noteworthy changes in this release: * Fix the use of --checkpoint without explicit --checkpoint-action * Fix extraction with the -U option See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2019-01/msg00015.html, for details * Fix iconv usage on BSD-based systems * Fix possible NULL dereference (savannah bug #55369) * Improve the testsuite Regards, Sergey -- If you have a working or partly working program that you'd like to offer to the GNU project as a GNU package, see https://www.gnu.org/help/evaluation.html.
