To: Debian Developers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Announcement: APT Secure From: Isaac Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2003 10:30:02 -0400 Message-id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Old-return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> User-agent: Gnus/5.1002 (Gnus v5.10.2) Emacs/21.3 (gnu/linux) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Greetings :) "APT Secure" is the working name of a project to add to APT the ability to verify the authenticity of Debian packages. It accomplishes this via a chain of trust which is initiated by the package maintainers and ends on the installing machine. This is a call to the community to help test and audit this patch to APT, and to eventually participate in the policy discussion about the patch. Please see http://monk.debian.net/apt-secure/ for more information and to download Debian packages.
