I have filed a couple of bug reports against distributions with a wrong signature and I have even released such myself. Now, with a combination of having t/0-signature.t and a dependency from 'release' to 'disttest', this cannot happen. qed:) -- andreas
Re: What is the Value of t/0-signature.t?
I've started to do a little bit of work on Module::Signature. The main problem seemed to be that it will install even if it's configuration cannot be confirmed, when I think it might be preferable to not install at all if it cannot be confirmed. I've also move Module::Signature into the Module::Install repository (which seems to be fast becoming an orphanage for collaboratively maintaining installation toolchain modules without a strongly active author). So if anyone already has commit for Module::Install and can think of small improvemens to make, you should be able to help fix Module::Signature.

The problem with these is that Module::Signature fails when it should warn if the key is not present in the user's keyring. If this technical issue is solved then regardless of whether or not signature tests are useless (i think they are, but then again i also think i have some modules with Test::Distribution that checks that... so I am a hypocrit ;-) the usability of these tests will be good enough.

What is the Value of t/0-signature.t?
Hi all, In http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=17934, a Test::MockObject user dislikes the t/0-signature.t test that always runs. If the user does not have Module::Signature installed, no tests run. If the user does have Module::Signature installed but not configured properly, the test will fail. If it is the case that CPAN and CPANPLUS check signatures, if the user has the proper modules installed, is there value in including this test with signed distributions? -- c
