pgpcontrol 2.5

pgpcontrol is the collection of the original signing and verification scripts that David Lawrence wrote (in Perl) for verification of Usenet control messages. I took over maintenance of it, with a few other things, but haven't really done much with it. It would benefit a lot from an overhaul of both the documentation and the code, and turning it into a more normal Perl module and supporting scripts.

This release is none of those things. It's just pure housekeeping, picking up changes made by other people (mostly Julien ÉLIE) to the copies of the scripts in INN and making a few minor URL tweaks. But I figured I may as well, rather than distribute old versions of the scripts.

You can tell how little I've done with this stuff by noting that they don't even have a distribution page on my web site. The canonical distribution site is ftp.isc.org, although I'm not sure if that site will pick up the new release. (This relies on a chain of rsync commands that have been moved multiple times since the last time I pushed the release button, and I suspect that has broken.) I'll ping someone about possibly fixing that; in the meantime, you can find the files on archives.eyrie.org.
