| Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Eclipse Platform to prefer use of dependencies from Maven Central rather than Orbit |
Dirk,
As of the 2022-03 release, PGP signing is ready and approved for
broader adoption during the 2022-06 release cycle:
https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipse-wg/ide-wg/eclipseide.org/-/issues/11
@AleksMaybe jetty is already signed correctly? How will be the process for unsigned content?

I can only encourage everyone to open a ticket for such project and help
them to include OSGi meta-data in the first place instead of putting the
effort else-where, as adding those does not harm the project but helps
integration it with just a few extra lines in the manifest.
