In addition to selecting the version of sendmail you
want, you must choose between two forms of compressed tar(1) distributions. Those
that end in .Z are compressed withUnix compress(1); those that end in .gz are compressed
withGNU gzip(1). The latter is the preferred form because the file is smaller
and therefore quicker to transfer.
In addition to the two forms of distribution, each release has a PGP signature file
associated withit. * Prior to V8.11, this was a single signature file used to verify the
uncompressed file, meaning that you needed to uncompress the tar(1) file before verifying
it. Beginning with V8.11, there is a signature file for each of the compressed
files, so there is no need to uncompress either first.
The signature file has the same name as the distribution file but with a literal .sig suffix
added.
sendmail.8.14.1.tar.gz ?†? the distribution file
sendmail.8.14.1.tar.gz.sig ?†? the signature file for this distribution file
sendmail.8.14.1.tar.Z ?†? the distribution file
sendmail.8.14.1.tar.Z.sig ?†? the signature file for this distribution file
If you have not already done so for an earlier sendmail distribution, you must now
download and install the PGPKEYS file from sendmail.org:
ftp://ftp.sendmail.org/pub/sendmail/PGPKEYS
After downloading this file, add the keys in it to your PGP key ring with a command
like this:
pgp -ka PGPKEYS ?†? for pgp version 2.
