Security information

Release Sources

Latest release version: 1.2.2 – NEWS

See the included INSTALL file for building instructions

To verify the signatures:

gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys '7EE6 5E30 82A5 FB06 AC7C 368D 00CC B587 DDBE F0E1'

You shouldn’t really trust this key without verifying its fingerprint. See it with gpg --fingerprint [email protected] and ask someone if it matches (eg. on #irssi ).

gpg --verify irssi-1.2.2.tar.xz.asc

(This key is different from the one used to sign binaries of versions before 0.8.10. More gpg help can be found from GPG manual)
