sparkle_sign_update.rb gives different result each run

Asked by livings124

Should sparkle_sign_update.rb give a different result each time it's run? I would think it would be the same result each time, but I could be wrong on this one.

Yes, it should be different each time.

It doesn't touch the binary, does it? In other words, I won't have to reupload the binary each time I run the script, will I?

DSA signing involves the choice of a random number. So it would be very much a coincidence if two signatures come out the same. And it certainly never touches the file you're signing.

Thanks, that completely answers my question.
