1 Hello,
2
3 what do you think about signing the ebuilds and digests with gpg?
4
5 That would make it harder for blackhats to introduce a worm or something
6 similiar (if they have got access to an rsync mirror).
7
8 My idea is to automatically sign the released ebuilds (before mirroring
9 them) with a key of gentoo.org.
10
11 Then emerge could check the sign and could discard wrong ebuilds or just
12 throws a warning (preferable customized with make.conf).
13
14 Just my 2 cents. ;)
