dpkg-sig as name for the .deb-files signature tool



retitle 223311 ITP: dpkg-sig -- create and verify signatures on .deb-files
thanks

Hi,

I announced the packaging of a low-level tool for creating and
verification of signatures on deb-archive files with the name
debsigs-ng. This name was criticized, because it looks like a fork of
debsigs. So, I had some discussion on IRC. Some names were prefered in
discussion. At the end, we had some dpkg-* names in discussion, as
well as dpst (debian package signature tool) and trusted-deb. The last
one left the discussion area as it promises rather too much - the tool
is _not_ a high level tool that plugs into apt or dpkg, but it is just
on the same level as dpkg-deb. dpst is IMHO rather too cryptic, so I
decided to dpkg-sig.

A preliminary version is apt-able at
deb http://dpkg-sig.turmzimmer.net/dpkg-sig/ ./
deb-src http://dpkg-sig.turmzimmer.net/dpkg-sig/ ./


Cheers,
Andi
