Hi!

Please provide GPG-signed downloads on the download page. How can I trust the executables otherwise?

It seems that fossil allows signing of each manifest / checkin, but the executable on the downloads page are unverified.

Also it would be nice if the downloadable tar.gz or zip balls are signed.

Thanks

BB.

-- this post never had any reply it seems, although DRH cares much about security and likes GPG, as far as I can see, see for example: http://www.mail-archive.com/fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org/msg01611.html

So I really think this request is reasonable.
