I have noticed some projects use minisign to sign their files so I think it would be useful to have minisign in the trisquel repository. It's already included for example in fedora's free repository.

In case you really need minisign, you could install it with guix. Since it is in bookworm, I guess it will be in trisquel 12.

Good to know! And thanks for the tip. If I understand correct, Guix is not deb based so it is necesary to install Guix, there is no quick way to just point to Guix repository using apt?

Forget what I wrote before.

$ sudo apt install curl cmake libsodium-dev pkg-config
$ curl https://github.com/jedisct1/minisign/tarball/master
$ tar xvzf jedisct1-minisign-*.tar.gz
$ cd jedisct1-minisign-*
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make

You should have it now (I just tried). This is at least 1000 times faster than installing guix.
