I use the mechanism provided with PGP to store the public keys, so the development and managment of public key software is already done. The storage of public key in the maintainer object is a implementation choice which has pro and cons and i prefer not been involved in such an argument. Right now the key are not in the the maintainer object, the software just authomaticly verifies the authenticity of the update messages. -- lpj In our previous episode, Daniel Karrenberg said: > > > What is needed is something that puts the public keys in the maintainer > object and then verifies authenticiy of update messages.
