(again, as I noted at the conj, without good documentation on the Leiningen site for this, folks won't necessarily know what this is or why they need to do all of this, especially the web of trust stuff you discussed and key exchanges / publishing etc).

In other words, we can simply ignore the whole gpg issue and continue with things just as we do today and it won't break? Will users of Clojars projects be required to install and use gpg? (I'm not arguing against encryption or signing - just trying to a) point out that I think the vast majority of Clojure library developers probably don't have gpg installed and b) establish what is _required_ vs _optional_ and figure out what your plans are regarding existing Clojars projects and users) -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ World Singles, LLC. -- http://worldsingles.com/ "Perfection is the enemy of the good." -- Gustave Flaubert, French realist novelist (1821-1880) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
