#3 Re: Reasons to upgrade to Etch Posted by Steve (80.68.xx.xx) on Thu 25 Jan 2007 at 09:41 I've done a couple of trial upgrades using Xen and found it pretty simple too, it is more that I wish to be running stable security-supported software and I don't want any sudden suprises. The plan for signatures was to sign with a new key and sign that myself, and offer it to other people for signing in the future. I'd like to allow users to upload their own key if they wished - although short of encrypted mails I haven't thought much about how they could be used. It does strike me as a little curious that Slashdot allows you to upload one but doesn't actually use it for anything - by contrast Livejournal allows you to upload a key if you mail a special address with a signed message you can make new updates. So perhaps something like that will be done. Steve
