State-Changed-Why:
Thanks for your efforts, I like to see PGP support in the ports tree, but:
- this is not a matter of a single port
- some people do not want to fetch distfiles they don't need
- this should be more semi-automatic, like HAS_PGPSIGNATURE and `make pgpcheck'
- this interferes with PR 60558, since you can't simply add USE_GPG/PGP to the Makefile,
you'll have to correct DISTFILES for that.
IMHO it would be better to come up with a general scheme how PGP signature
verification of distfiles could work instead of simply fetching them, which
just wastes space and doesn't increase security.
