Hi Folks!
I've just committed a patch to XEmacs 21.5 that fixes the PGP code in
the package tools.
Could I please ask those of you who have PGP to test this for me. I
want to hear of successes _and_ failures.
Test it by:
- grab the latest CVS sources and build a new XEmacs
- (setq package-get-require-signed-base-updates t)
- You'll need MailCrypt installed. Which should snarf my key
the first time you get the signed index file. [1]
- Tools -> Packages -> Add Download Site -> [2]
- Tools -> Packages -> Update Package Index or List & Install
Once that completes just do 'C-h l' and look at the recent messages
for something similar to:
gpg: Good signature from "Steve Youngs <youngs(a)xemacs.org>"
When you send me your success/failure report, please also tell me
which version of PGP you are using.
Thanks very much for your help.
Footnotes:
[1] If it doesn't, you should be able to find my key on most key
servers (the keyid is in my sig). It's also in:
/ftp.xemacs.org:/pub/xemacs/pgp-keys/steve_youngs.asc
[2] Both Pre-Releases and the main xemacs.org directories have signed
index files in them.

Okay. That's not my key. It has the comment "XEmacs distribution key
blah blah the key used for signing XEmacs distributions".
I can't use that to sign the package-index files because I don't have
the secret key for it. And it'd be a pretty big breach of security if
someone was to give it to me, so I don't want it.

Well, hopefully, once I commit a patch to fix a couple of things
you've mentioned, and you get those windozie patches in, everything
will be "honky-dory".

OK, I think I know what's going on.
Do this:
- delete, move or otherwise get rid of:
/usr/local/lib/xemacs-21.5-b3/etc/package-index.LATEST*
~/.xemacs/package-index.LATEST*
(so they don't get in our way)
- run xemacs -vanilla
(so we're on a clean slate)
- M-: (setq package-get-required-signed-base-updates t) RET
- Tools -> Packages -> Add Download Site -> Pre-Releases
- Tools -> Packages -> List and Install
How does that go?

Hi Steve,

Oops. Looks like there has to be a package-index.LATEST.gpg file on
the local machine. Either in /usr/local/lib/xemacs-<ver>/etc/ or in
~/.xemacs/. Sorry for the bum steer there, Adrian.
I'll add a 'package-index.LATEST.gpg' file to the 21.5 core CVS,

This is the bit that worries me. I know my lisp is right, I've tested
it at least a dozen times now... works perfectly every time. That's
under Linux, and now with your Win additions to package-get, it should
be fine there too.
The problem has got to have something to do with your GnuPG set up.
I'll send you a small file that is signed with my GnuPG key, with
instructions as to how to verify the sig. Let me know how it goes.
We'll get to the bottom of this. And if it turns out that for some
strange reason Windoze can't handle this, just leave
package-get-require-signed-base-updates set to nil. You won't be any
worse off than you are now.
