Honestly, people are you trying to look like complete idiots
in a public forum on purpose or what?

You give one stupid advice, and after I e-mail you and tell
you to be a man and apologize, you go ahead and give the
next one right away.

So let's see. We quote ${FILENAME} so that the
machine-generated file name "portage-20041109.tar.bz2"
doesn't contain any blanks by accident.

Hmmm.

It's pretty good advice, actually. I wonder whether that
idea come to you because I quoted ${SIGNKEYID} to make sure
some unnamed person doesn't break the script by using the
clear text key ID for that instead of the numeric one.

Anyway. I like it. Why don't you sit down a couple of hours,
implement that added functionality, and submit a "patch" to
Kurt?
