Synopsis: ports/security/libprelude - fetch PGP signature State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: eik State-Changed-When: Sun Feb 29 21:13:54 CET 2004 State-Changed-Why: Thanks for your efforts, I like to see PGP support in the ports tree, but: - this is not a matter of a single port - some people do not want to fetch distfiles they don't need - this should be more semi-automatic, like HAS_PGPSIGNATURE and `make pgpcheck' - this interferes with PR 60558, since you can't simply add USE_GPG/PGP to the Makefile, you'll have to correct DISTFILES for that. IMHO it would be better to come up with a general scheme how PGP signature verification of distfiles could work instead of simply fetching them, which just wastes space and doesn't increase security. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=63546
