arch troubles checking out latest code

[Greg Troxel]

I'm trying to use arch to check out the latest code; see message below
for gory details.  I am also unable to check out the guile-gnome code.

I wonder if not having signing set up is my problem.

Can anyone give me tip on setting up signing?  (I have gnupg installed
and am familiar with it.)   The g-wrap development web page doesn't
give pointers to the signing key.

I am trying to check out some code via arch, from the g-wrap and
guile-gnome projects.  I am pretty sure others are able to use this
archive.

g-wrap developer page gives arch commands:

  http://www.nongnu.org/g-wrap/Development.html

I followed them

tla register-archive http://people.debian.org/~rotty/arch/address@hidden
[worked fine]

tla get address@hidden/dists--dev--0 g-wrap

> tla get address@hidden/dists--dev--0 g-wrap

WARNING: no rule found for checking signatures from address@hidden

  Consider creating ~/.arch-params/signing/address@hidden
  or ~/.arch-params/signing/=default.check

/usr/pkg/bin/gtar: Unaligned block (5346 bytes) in archive
/usr/pkg/bin/gtar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

So I ran ktrace, extracted the URL, and fetched in manually (I had
removed http_proxy from the environment before all of this).

wget

This file seems ok, with both our tar and gtar:

I untarred it (with gtar) and it is clearly arch metadata.

Any clues?
