sb> Greg> I'm working on a patch to fix package-get-base. Greg> Can I get the following from you: sb> sb> Get pgp keys from sb> ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/pgp-keys/ sb> sb> or from any PGP key server. sb> sb> I made a symlink to package-index.LATEST in /pub/xemacs/packages/ and sb> uploaded the signature. Does the .sig file need a symlink too? Can we have the package-index.LATEST file just be the output of M-x mc-sign, ie. contain the text and the key in one file? If I do C-x C-f package-index.LATEST.nopgp, then M-x mc-sign, and C-x C-w package-index.LATEST, I get something like what's below, though I've omitted most of the database records. I guess we could have two files if you prefer though I'm partial to just using mc-pgp-verify-region. greg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ;; Package Index file -- Do not edit manually.
