iirc, infra implemented signing of the daily portage snapshots. It was a |
| 15 |
crude/simple way to get our tree 'signed', but its far from a scalable |
| 16 |
nor proper solution. I think we only provided it since it didn't take |
| 17 |
much effort for us to at least implement it and it gave the anal people |
| 18 |
the ability to at least have some form of validity. It is one of the |
| 19 |
options I know of currently. |
