This looks good: I'm trying to get set up for that myself. If you do this, please *do* protect your SSH keys better than most people do. There's nothing like somebody stealing your old passphase key from an NFS share or a backup, or hanging onto a borrowed key and password, to permit someone else to corrupt your public source code. Been there, done that, though I've not heard of it happening at github. _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.repoforge.org/mailman/listinfo/users
