Here are the SHA1 and SHA256 checksums:

     File: gtypist-2.10.tar.gz
     SHA1 sum:   15d5c510129a4fbe679ab43db0d10bfcdeb10dd0
     SHA256 sum: 
f1e79cd95742c84c6d035f6d8f393a2a1be0e00b1c016a22462df16d6667562c

     File: gtypist-2.10.tar.xz
     SHA1 sum: 15d5c510129a4fbe679ab43db0d10bfcdeb10dd0
     SHA256 sum:

Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

     gpg --verify gtypist-2.10.tar.gz.sig


The signature should match the fingerprint
of the following key:

     pub   rsa4096 2024-10-21 [SC]
           02AE C665 0073 01C2 80C5 C43A 0FB8 07D2 E7C7 C96C
     uid   Mihai Gătejescu <[email protected]>
     uid   Mihai Gătejescu <[email protected]>


If that command fails because you don't have the required
public key, or that public key has expired, try the following
commands to retrieve or refresh it, and then rerun
the 'gpg --verify' command.

     gpg --recv-keys 02AEC665007301C280C5C43A0FB807D2E7C7C96C


As a last resort to find the key, you can try the official GNU keyring:

     wget -q https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-keyring.gpg
     gpg --keyring gnu-keyring.gpg --verify gtypist-2.10.tar.gz.sig


This release is based on the gtypist git repository, available as:

     git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/gtypist.git

with commit tagged as release-2-10.

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gtypist.git;a=shortlog;h=release-2-10
or run this command from a git-cloned gtypist directory:
