The very popular file ~/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg is not a gpg key, either. .asc or .sig would be ok, too. The main thing is, that it is a suffix that gpg recognizes so gpg $SHA1SUM.$SUFFIX will generate $SHA1SUM instead of asking the user for a filename.
This thread is just highlighting the problems with using extensions to disambiguate file-types. The machine should be using the file magic to determine the content. Fortunately this has worked for a long time: [gmaxwell@limelight Zod-dvd-i386]$ file SHA1SUM SHA1SUM: PGP armored data signed message And of course, nautilus recognizes files in the same way. This leaves you free to name the file in the most human compatible manner. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
