OpenPGP Public Keys
Release files for supported releases are signed by the following:
- Jeff Allen (2.7.2 onwards) (key id: 875C3EF9DC4638E3)
- Frank Wierzbicki (2.7.1 and earlier) (key id: 3979A71621665974)
You can validate these keys, using the installer as an example:
gpg --keyserver hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys [key id]
gpg --verify jython-installer-[x.y.z].jar.asc \
jython-installer-[x.y.z].jar
GPG will report Good signature from [release owner]
.
GPG may also report a warning unless you explicitly tell it to trust the key. This is not necessary for one-off verification. The warning is explained here. The signing keys are listed above to allow validation independent of the file repository.
