I use the '--sign' argument to tell `repo-add` to sign the database as I add packages. I've seen this myself, ever. Which repo are you using? If you use the xsounds repo then there could be an issue with the rsync'ing. > Was the repo-add_and_sign script that I wrote not useful?

I don't remember why, it might just have been that I wanted to understand how pacman works with signing for myself first. At the moment I have two short scripts, one for signing the packages and one for adding packages to the database. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: mag...@therning.org jabber: mag...@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus _______________________________________________ arch-haskell mailing list arch-haskell@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/arch-haskell
