There is a practical use: the entire source tree can be audited with the GPG signatures, and the checdksums for the ISO published and signed, to help verify the software if the upstream repository gets *really* hacked. It's also helpful for publishing Bittorrents of the source: I'd much rather grab the source via Bittorrent than via rsync or http, *if* I can verify the checksups and GPG signatures of the DVD image. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
