For issue 4587: Verifying multiple OpenPGP signatures on a release The following splits and verifies all signatures: csplit --elide-empty-files --prefix=sig --suffix-format=%0d2.asc subversion-1.9.0.tar.bz2.asc '/^-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----$/' '{*}' for X in sig*.asc; do gpg --verify $X subversion-1.9.0.tar.bz2; done
The same could be done in awk. In 2013 gpg was noted to not support multiple signatures if the signing keys differ in type/digest: http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/journal/2013-01/011.html Andreas
