Ok, I re-checked, and it does indeed work. No idea why it didn't
in the first place (maybe I had a typo?), and thanks for making me
recheck this so I now have an elegant solution. Yay. :)

I'll update my package for the RFS bug to incorporate this.

H. I see your fixbadproxy config being copied, so I wonder whats up,
but its quite obvious that the options didn't take effect at all as, as
mentioned (in the quote), the first two are very noisy.

I know, experts call it "placebo effect". ;)

As an APT developer I can certify that this option has no effect because
it doesn't exist (anymore). The option used to exist, git history tells
me that it was introduced on 1st April 2005 and less than a year later
(in Feb 2006, so more than a decade ago!) removed. In case you wonder:
signed Release files were a new thing at that point in time and the
option forced re-downloading of the Release.gpg file. That was fixed
later in a more automatic way & for a few years now apt prefers to use
a file called InRelease; only using the pair Release + Release.gpg if it
must so even if the code would be still there it wouldn't be reached in
your case. What makes this particularily funny is that it is suggested
to fix hashsum mismatches which it can't and never could: The error it
intended to workaround for the moment was "bad signature on the Release
file" (as an old signature in Release.gpg "obviously" doesn't apply to
a new Release file).

It probably was a bad idea to use such a catchy option name for such
a limited purpose code… or perhaps it a very clever april fouls joke
– who could tell the difference…

How to upgrade my gpg key to debian standards?

I am looking at upgrading my gpg key.

What parameters should I use?

Is there a standard way to get all the people that signed

Do you mean increasing the key length, or other stuff too?

For the other stuff, here are some nice links:

- https://debian-administration.org/users/dkg/weblog/48
- https://help.riseup.net/en/security/message-security/openpgp/best-practices
- the hopenpgp-tools package to check your key -- very useful!

Some people use transition statements like this one:



However, most Debian people will want to meet you in person again in
order to re-sign your key.

At the moment there is only one missing dependence libjreen, which is waiting 
in the "new"-queue. 
Because of the complexity of the software and the package, I decide to ask for 
a revision now.

I have some questions about the package. 

How can I handle the lintian error message "source-is-missing"? 
I'm unable to find the source code of this JavaScript files in the internet.

Do I have to cleanup the source code and remove all windows/mac related files? 

Kind Regards,
