gpg rpms

I've uploaded to
ftp://felix.unife.it/pub/RPMS
the rpms for gnupg 0.4.3, both src and i386 for redhat linux.
the latter is compiled with -O2 -m486, all tests went fine.
There is also the spec file that I've used.

I've also built rpm for modules (idea,rsa,skipjack) but I don't know if
it's possible to put it on a ftp server. Is there any problem with these
algos (copyright, etc..)

If needed, I can post MD5 result for gnupg rpms.

I'll add a note to the web page.

IDEA is patented nearly worldwide, so PLEASE don't use it.

RSA is okay for non-US users.

Don't use skipjack: It is weak (probably not as weak as 56bit DES)
and I only made this module to see how much time it took to make
another cipher module ;-)

It is better to sign the rpms with your key and get enough
certificates of others for your key.

Ok, so it's better do not put it on ftp site, huh?

I've built the modules for old gpg keys, my actual key is a defult gpg key..

well, I've already sent my key to gnupg-keys, I've only to find someone for
signing :-)
