I have managed to get the feed to work now by starting again from the example. but now i cant seem to sign the package correctly i keep getting an error about it not being improperly signed. i have checked the dsa_pub.pem is in the resources directory of the compiled app i have changed to trying to run the update using a zip instead of a pkg, the command i am using to sign the zip is

ruby sign_update.rb package.zip dsa_priv.pem

my signatures look a lot longer than your one in the example though if thats any clue as too where i may be going wrong.

thanks for your help.

This usually happens when you have a version of openssl that's different from the version which shipped with the system.

Grab the newest version of the .rb scripts from http://github.com/andymatuschak/Sparkle and try that.

Can you help with this problem?
