Verify and unpack

After downloading the tarball and .asc signature file, check the signature:

Get Kamil's PGP key rsa4096/72A37B36 (almost any keyserver will do if pgp.mit.edu is temporarily unavailable):

$ gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key 992A96E075056E79CD8214F9873DB37572A37B36

and verify the PGP signature on the distribution tarball:

$ gpg --verify logrotate-3.11.0.tar.xz.asc logrotate-3.11.0.tar.xz

If successful your GPG output should look like this:

gpg: Signature made Fri 02 Dec 2016 08:30:39 AM EST
gpg:                using RSA key 873DB37572A37B36
gpg: Good signature from "Kamil Dudka <kdudka@redhat.com>" [unknown]
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
Primary key fingerprint: 992A 96E0 7505 6E79 CD82  14F9 873D B375 72A3 7B36

You may then unpack the tarball:

$ tar -xJf logrotate-3.11.0.tar.xz

Notice that git tags are signed with same key:

$ git tag --verify 3.11.0
