Yo!

When verifying a file by only specifying the signature file on the
cmdline, I ask myself if it's good to rely on users finding it 'obvious'
which file has been verified.

Meaning: I think the filename of the verified file should be printed on
the cmdline, so that the user does not need to rely on assumptions
'filename is deduced from signature file name' or 'filename is contained
in signature'.

[avbidder@atlas src]$ gpg --verify linux-2.4.18.tar.bz2.sign

I think a message like 'Good signature from ... on file ...
would be better.

Just a thought.

cheers
