As we all know, today more than ever before, it is crucial to be able to trust our computing environments. One of the main difficulties that package maintainers of GNU/Linux distributions face, is the difficulty to verify the authenticity and the integrity of the source code. With GPG signatures it is possible for packagers to verify source code releases quickly and easily.

In order to securely package your software I am kindly requesting GPG signatures for the source tarballs. If you are not yet familiar with secure source code signing I recommend using GPGit which automates the process of secure source code signing and also has a quick start guide on GPG for learning how to use it manually.

Thanks in advance.
