Peter's latest suggestion on the list was quite detailed and would |
| 8 |
seem to work now. He even suggested that the global signing key |
| 9 |
be auto-revoked in 3 months, to let it be known that it is a temporary |
| 10 |
measure. |

I think that those concerned enough to run the verification script would |
| 13 |
not mind the occasional missing sha1sum from a file that wasn't checked |
| 14 |
in the proper time window. They would just delete that particular file, |
| 15 |
or sync again. |

I think this is ideal. It provides a (sub-optimal) solution |
| 18 |
that works over night, while not hindering any forward progress on the |
| 19 |
optimal one. |

If someone posted a working and self-tested shell script that does this |
| 22 |
task, could it be installed? Who do we contact to make that decision? |
