I have a question about package Manifests. On reviewing portage, some |
| 8 |
Manifests are signed by various GPG keys, and others are not signed at all! |

I submitted something to Patrick off list (largely because I'm not a dev, |
| 11 |
nor a great security expert) which uses a hash of all Manifest files as a |
| 12 |
basis for portage validation. However, the signing of the Manifest files |
| 13 |
themselves are inconsistent which poses a few problems. |

|

Who signs the Manifests? Why are some unsigned? Is there a single Gentoo |
| 16 |
Security Key (like I know Slackware has and some other distros to ensure |
| 17 |
the authenticity of their files)? |
