Hi all

I'd like to pick up this very old thread...

You were talking about adding a fallback method in case the signature for
the etc.tar.bz2 file is wrong. Has this feature ever been implemented?

Also would it be possible, instead of signing the whole etc.tar.bz2 to
generate for example an MD5 sum of the etc.tar.bz2 and then sign that sum?
This way I wouldn't have to copy the whole etc.tar.bz2 file to my admin
station (This can be anoying on low bandwith connections).
