Hi Joel,
maybe I still don't understand how tarball signature is supposed to
work...
I never did that before ...
But I tried to verify the signature of the latest 7.5.1 release,
but couldn't find the public key DSA keyFF325CF3
I thought that all GNU software shoulb be signed using
Trying to find your key, I found this message:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gdb/2006-01/msg00006.html
Where is the key?
Pierre
