You can use: gpg --recv-key <RM_KEY> gpg <artifact>.asc to verify the sig. https://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html contains all the details. > Thanks, > > JM > > 2015-02-15 0:55 GMT-05:00 Enis Söztutar <e...@apache.org>: > > > It gives me great pleasure to announce that the sixth release candidate > for > > the release > > 1.0.0 (HBase-1.0.0RC5), is available for download at > > https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/hbase/hbase-1.0.0RC5/ > > > > Maven artifacts are also available in the temporary repository > > https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachehbase-1065 > > > > Signed with my code signing key E964B5FF.
