Description Luca Schuhmacher 2013-11-04 14:54:04 UTC 
as i looked at webrsync, it seems it just pulls deltas which have no gpg signatures and happily installs them. so verifiying the snapshots is useless.

deltas should be disabled with webrsync-gpg useflag or get gnupg sigs as well.

Reproducible: Always

It reconstructs the snapshot from the deltas, and then verifies the signature on the snapshot. It's just as good and downloading the whole snapshot and then verifying that.
