Yes, and there also appears a bit of discussion on "what to sign". We may want to sign, among some: - The tree of files of a specific checkin (signing the checkin hash is enough) - The tree + comment + date + tags... that would mean a set of artifacts. I think the most flexible operation would be to sign a set of artifacts, but I've no idea how that can later be workable as in checking signatures. The monotone people have this part much better planned, I think. :) Regards, Lluís. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
