Hi All,

If you are looking to verify release signatures, here is a quick tip:

* download all release artifacts into a folder or do a svn checkout of the 
release - `svn co https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airavata/0.17/RC1/ 
<https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airavata/0.17/RC1/>`

* Verify signatures by a small script something like:

for file in `find . -type f -iname '*.asc'`
  do
      gpg --verify ${file} 
  done
The output will indicate the You'll need to look at the output to ensure it 
contains only good signatures -

gpg: Good signature from ... gpg: Signature made …

Once you verify the signature, next step is to uncompress the source and verify 
it builds fine.
