1 This http://www.gentoo.org/news/20041021-portage51.xml tells us all about the gpg signing working it's way into portage.

3 It tells us what to add to make.conf to have the sigs checked.
4
5 Doing so gives the error
6
7 PORTAGE_GPG_DIR is invalid. Removing gpg from FEATURES.
8
9 Two questions.
10
11 1) What do I, as a user have to do now to start testing/playing with gpg signed manifests?
12
13 2) Why were partial, incompleate instructions put in the newsletter?
14
15 There seem to be a lot of signed manifests now, a grep of the portage tree gave me a 60K file with just the package names. Seems like a good time to start using them.
