Installing from source with signature verification
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you want to install cdist from signed source and verify it, first you need to
download cdist archive and its detached signature.
Get both, *cdist-x.y.z.tar.gz* and *cdist-x.y.z.tar.gz.asc* from release
notes of the desired tag *x.y.z* at
`cdist git repository <https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/cdist/-/tags>`_.
Get GPG public key used for signing `here <_static/pgp-key-EFD2AE4EC36B6901.asc>`_
and import it into GPG.
Now cdist source archive can be verified using `gpg`, e.g. to verify `cdist-6.2.0`:
.. code-block:: sh
$ gpg --verify cdist-6.2.0.tar.gz.asc cdist-6.2.0.targ.gz
gpg: Signature made Sat Nov 30 23:14:19 2019 CET
gpg: using RSA key 69767822F3ECC3C349C1EFFFEFD2AE4EC36B6901
gpg: Good signature from "ungleich GmbH (ungleich FOSS) <foss@ungleich.ch>" [ultimate]
Further steps are the same as for `installing from git <cdist-install.html#from-git>`_.
