signing: signature date based?

Asked by Trygve

When I sign my .zip file with the sign_update.rb, if I do it several times in a row, I get a different signature each time for the same private key and .zip file. Is it encoding a date as well?

That's just the way DSA works; signing involves the use of random number.
