Does that mean etch will not be signed by an offline key? Was stable ever signed with an offline key? I think signing stable with an online key without passphrase is a serious loss/lack of trustiness in it. It means that if the archive gets compromised then stable package can be replaced without apt noticing. MfG Goswin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
