[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #36073] no info about how to check signature of octave download

[Stephan Rudlof]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #36073 (project octave):

Thanks for the info: your hint has resolved my problem.

Haven't seen the README file at the top-level directory of the ftp.gnu.org
site, by just following the link
  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/octave
at
  http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/download.html
.
Moreover older versions before octave-2.9.14 are without signature file: this
has triggered not looking for a general sig mechanism covering whole
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/.

I think a README in
  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/octave
cannot hurt (there are different variants of how projects publish their
releases and how they are signed).
