Verify the downloaded archive

If you have downloaded the archive from the download site you can optionally verify the integrity of this archive. In order to verify the integrity of the archive you have to download the corresponding signature file (vmm-0.7.0.tar.gz.sig) too. The signature can be verified using GPG or PGP. For example to check the signature of the archive vmm-0.7.0.tar.gz you can execute this command gpg --verify vmm-0.7.0.tar.gz.sig.

The tarball was signed by Pascal Volk (Key fingerprint = 4E56 901B 155B 2B3A 8BF7 9248 880B 094E C511 39FE). You can fetch the public key from a key server using the command gpg --recv-keys 0x880B094EC51139FE
