Description Ed Grimm 2003-09-01 14:26:34 UTC
As far as I can tell, you don't have PGP signatures on any of the files.  Also, the md5 sums are on 
the same ftp servers as the ISO, which basically means anyone who compromises the FTP server can 
also upload the md5 sums for their trojan versions.  (Note that I'm not making a distinction 
between PGP implementations.  OpenPGP is actually preferable, and I know you have gpg available 
to you.)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Look at any mirror, any CD image.
2.  See that there's no associated .sig file, or any other file which suggests it contains PGP 
signatures.
3.

best thing would be to integrate with catalyst that way we get stages signed too for free
Comment 2 John Davis (zhen) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-26 08:00:57 UTC
we now sign our releases using ascii armored signatures
As for catalyst automatically doing it, I would rather that I do it by hand so that the integrity is assured.
