Just to provide some statistics about dpkg-sig usage, as I got curious about it too: In the archive, 525 out of 283283 .deb's are dpkg-sig'd (0.19%). There are 8 distinct keys used for those 525 .deb's, seven of which correspond to DD's[1]. I'm not going to interpret these numbers, as it's close to impossible to do so objectively. --Jeroen [1] Interested DD's can look into merkel:~jeroen/dpkg-sig how I got these numbers -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
