Dear all,
> today I have committed a big bunch of changes to verify integrity
> of downloaded packages by cryptographically signatures.
After a few days of fighting with rebuilding and fixing, the changes
have finally landed today in tlpretest.
For those who have already installed tlpretest: You *cannot* update with
tlmgr update --self
but have to use the
update-tlmgr-latest
method.
Please report strange happenings here, best with tlmgr -v ...
For Windows users
-----------------
(the following is my personal project and not affiliated with TeX Live or TUG!)
If you want to have gpg verification on Windows without installing
gnupg manually, you can install a package prepared by me via:
tlmgr --repository http://www.preining.info/tlgpgwin32/ install texlive.gpg.win32
Warning for all users
---------------------
As tlpretest has not started officially ;-) all this might change again.
Some remarks from the first email:
> In case something breaks badly you can easily disable these checks
> using hte new command line option
> --no-verify-downloads
ALl the best
Norbert
