Package: apt Version: 0.6.40.1 Priority: wishlist It seems that there is no documentation available either in the apt or apt-doc packages regarding the support of signature verification. Only by browsing the changelog I've been able to find a reference to apt-key(8) which, itself, does not fully document this feature. Also, this manpage is not referenced from any other apt manpage, that's why I had to dig in the changelog to find it existed. Please provide an apt-secure manpage, for example, which describes what signature verification (what 'security' does it provide?) is about and how to generate/add signatures for package archives which are not part of Debian. Matt's mail to debian-devel (when he announced apt-6.0) and http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/174 might be useful in writting that information. And, IIRC, there is other documentation written by DDs out there in the net too. If asked, I could provide sample manpages and a diff for this. But would need to do some research before I get it right. Regards Javier
