Feature Request: Sign package releases
There is currently no hash check or GPG signature to verify that the source is actually the one you have created. This is particularly important since there have been recent attacks which replaced files on upstream servers. Take for example the Linux Mint hack earlier this year.
I would like to request that you please upload a SHA512 checksum of your procps-ng tar.xz files, as well as sign the SHA512 with a GPG signature.
Technical documentation on how to do this (I would have provided links but they get flagged as spam): sha512sum * > SHA512SUMS gpg --clearsign -o SHA512SUMS.sign SHA512SUMS
The resulting files, SHA512SUMS and SHA512SUMS.sign, can then be uploaded to your site (or on another site/server for added security), so that package maintainers can verify that the source is accurate and unhacked by a third-party prior to packaging.
Thank you.
