Re: Setup version


Dave Korn wrote:

Also, we're going to add a link to the setup.exe gpg .sig file on the main
page; then the simple rule will be "If it has a gpg signature, it's the new
version".

The main page now says:


"The signature for setup.exe can be used to verify the validity of this binary using this public key."

Since I am new to these things, my simple question is: How?

I have tried (after the download of .sig, .asc and .exe files):

$ gpg --verify setup.exe.sig setup.exe
gpg: WARNING: using insecure memory!
gpg: please see http://www.gnupg.org/faq.html for more information
gpg: Signature made [...]
gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found


TIA, Angelo.
