Since you haven't addressed my comments from the first round of review, |
| 10 |
I repeat them here: |

|
| 12 |
| Given that the outer archive is uncompressed tar, every file will be |
| 13 |
| zero-padded to a full block which adds some amount of bloat. So, could |
| 14 |
| the signature be inlined in the Manifest file? That's also what GLEP 74 |
| 15 |
| specifies. |
| 16 |
| |
| 17 |
| Also, IIRC one of the goals of the format was to allow partial download |
| 18 |
| of metadata. That will only work if the Manifest file will be the first |
| 19 |
| file in the archive (or at least appear before the image archive). |
