Verify


Why this step is necessary ?

It is necessary cause with this step you can verify the integrity of the source code and that nobody has manipulate the files on the download area:


[~]# gpg -v --verify prosody-0.9.6.tar.gz.asc prosody-0.9.6.tar.gz
Version: GnuPG v1
gpg: armor header: 
gpg: Signature made Wed 15 Oct 2014 12:33:42 PM EEST using RSA key ID 7BDD6BFE
gpg: Can't check signature: No public key


No public key found !

quick searching through pgp.mit.edu we can find the public key of Mathew Wild[link2]

https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?search=0x7BDD6BFE

Download his public key from pgp.mit.edu:

[~]# gpg --recv-keys 0x7BDD6BFE --key-server pgp.mit.edu
gpg: "--key-server" not a key ID: skipping
gpg: "pgp.mit.edu" not a key ID: skipping
gpg: requesting key 7BDD6BFE from hkp server keys.gnupg.net
gpg: key 7BDD6BFE: public key "Matthew Wild <me@matthewwild.co.uk>" imported
gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1  (RSA: 1)


Now we can verify the source code of prosody: 

[~]# gpg -v --verify prosody-0.9.6.tar.gz.asc prosody-0.9.6.tar.gz
Version: GnuPG v1
gpg: armor header: 
gpg: Signature made Wed 15 Oct 2014 12:33:42 PM EEST using RSA key ID 7BDD6BFE
gpg: using PGP trust model
gpg: Good signature from "Matthew Wild <me@matthewwild.co.uk>"
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: 32A9 EDDE 3609 931E B98C  EAC3 1590 7E8E 7BDD 6BFE
gpg: binary signature, digest algorithm SHA1



We need the "Good signature " message to verify the source code
