Downloading GNUtrition

GNUtrition can be found on the main GNU FTP server (HTTP & HTTPS) and its mirrors; please use a mirror if possible.

Releases are signed using GnuPG. 0.33 and newer are signed with GPG key F06A8079 (fingerprint: 40DA 3AF2 9727 8DA2 B8E1 8D2F FCF0 B5DC F06A 8079). 0.32 and older were signed with GPG key 47486962 (fingerprint: 172F BCE9 8FCA C676 341B 75F7 6FCB 32C9 4748 6962).

To verify a release download the detached GPG signature file, such as ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnutrition/gnutrition-latest.tar.gz.sig (HTTP & HTTPS). You may also use a mirror (HTTPS) for this as well. Once both files are downloaded you can check the signature with gpg --verify gnutrition-[version].tar.gz.sig.

Trying the latest test release (when available) is always appreciated. Test releases of GNUtrition can be found on the GNU Alpha FTP server (HTTP & HTTPS).
