Do we need another script for this? Having developers to learn gpg --verify seems more useful. I don't remember any cases of invalid signatures (all such errors resulted from caching a different package).

I use it to check who packaged something when db-update complains about already released packages ("on another repo").

I use tar xOf public/....tar.xz .PKGINFO
, it works even in the case of bad or missing signatures.
