From a4120f2015ae4d5880642e16c81acadbab77555d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan McGee Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2009 13:23:44 -0500 Subject: repo-add: allow signing of the package database In order to be fully secure, we can't only sign packages. We also need to sign our repository metadata to prevent database falsification, dependency injection, etc. Add an '-s/--sign' option that allows this functionality, and will generate a .sig file side-by-side with the package database. While at it, fix the issue where a signature file would never be found because of 'cd' madness (this needs fixing in another commit).
