Hi, slackpkg can do GPG and MD5 Checking. Please, got version 1.2
in slackpkg.sf.net -

GPG and MD5 checking are enabled by default.

Good Luck,

That's great! Thanks.

> Good Luck,


Well, looking at the code (FWIW: generally looks OK) i think i'll make
some adjustments to it. For instance: /tmp is hardcoded, and i had rather
it honored the environment, as i use:

$ cat /etc/profile.d/tmp.sh
#!/bin/sh

if [ ! -d "$HOME/tmp" ]; then
rm -rf "$HOME/tmp"
mkdir -p "$HOME/tmp"
fi

chown "$USER" "$HOME/tmp"
chmod 0700 "$HOME/tmp"

TMPDIR="$HOME/tmp"
TMP="$TMPDIR"
export TMPDIR TMP
