Working on an open source project, confused about signing the updates!

It's in the Sparkle distribution. It's also in the sources. It's not linked in the xcode project, and it's also not in the framework.

I downloaded Sparkle and opened the ruby file (thanks for letting me know!)

Now once clicked the generate keys saying the pem files have been created, back up your private key and keep it safe.
Where does it put the key so I can back it up, sorry about this I feel like such a newb!

The files are placed in the working directory of wherever you ran the script.

I clicked on the generate keys.rb in the extras file, it then displayed this in xcode:

#!/usr/bin/ruby
["dsaparam.pem", "dsa_priv.pem", "dsa_pub.pem"].each do |file|
  if File.exist? file
    puts "There's already a #{file} here! Move it aside or be more careful!"
  end
end

etc....

i'm still confused as to where the pem files are?

Thanks.

I put the above into terminal and got this:

BACK UP YOUR PRIVATE KEY AND KEEP IT SAFE!

I am still not sure where the pem files have been placed?

Never mind it appears to be in my AdamB directory.

Thanks for all your help!

Thanks Hofman, that solved my question.
