Hi,
I tried using
gpg
to make integrity verification of the downloaded tarball for GHC.It seemed useful to me.
For now I just made a sketchy implementation, probably it should be an optional feature and more configurable.
Also I could use some advice on how to deal with the public key used for signing ghc tarballs, for now I saved it in a file and told gpg that it's trusted (forcing it with the use of --trusted-key option).
Let me know what you think about it!
