Re: [cobalt-developers] Digitally signing a PKG file

Alan,

Just openssl md5 the pkg file and provide it on your site like some pkg guys
already do.

Explain somewhere to non linux people how to run openssl md5 on the pkg on
their RaQ to verify the pkg integrity.


(Please send me some links about RaQ550 pkg making for dummies :)
