Verify a Release

To verify a release, download the .zip, .sha256, and .asc files for the release (replacing path_set-1.5-win32.zip with the release you are verifying):

$ wget https://github.com/rasa/path_set/releases/download/v1.5/path_set-1.5-win32.zip{,.sha256,.asc}

Next, check that sha256sum reports "OK":

$ sha256sum -c path_set-1.5-win32.zip.sha256
path_set-1.5-win32.zip: OK

Lastly, check that GPG reports "Good signature":

$ gpg --keyserver hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key 0x105a5225b6ab4b22
$ gpg --verify path_set-1.5-win32.zip.asc path_set-1.5-win32.zip
gpg:                using RSA key 0xFF914F74B4BB6EF3
gpg: Good signature from "Ross Smith II <ross@smithii.com>" [ultimate]
