Dear Werner,
The DETAILS file is not currently very clear on the correct way to
parse signatures.
"GOODSIG, BADSIG or ERRSIG will be emitted and they may be used as a
marker for a new signature."
NEWSIG is not guaranteed to be issued at all (in fact, it doesn't seem
to be issued if only one signature is present), and as a matter of
fact, version 1.4 and version 2 frequently issue SIG_ID *before*
issuing GOODSIG, BADSIG, ERRSIG or REVSIG line.
Since the proper processing of these lines is really important,
perhaps DETAILS should be made clearer. What is the proper way to
detect a marker for a new signature?
Best wishes,
N.
