I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' signify to 1.62 here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/31080

GitHub Continuous Integration checks queued.

Hopefully they will run without issue?

If so, it's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

This isn't very significant from the last PR I submitted from late October 2025 (upstream has a commit from early September 2025 so I am trailing by many months with this one) however, remarkable to me:

MacPorts' signify's version is now in alignment with upstream's versioning!

Yay!

I have no idea if that was true previously? My guess is: no, since I think jpouellet/Jean-Philippe Ouellet branched that out a long time ago and seemed to have iterated version tags haphazardly? Maybe I am mistaken though! There's a completely different Linuxism fork of signify which seems to have evolved (and versioned) very differently too.

That in particular has confused me with spurious repology.org out of date error messages for many months. I dunno if it has confused others, or if this version sync will make things less confusing, but hopefully? It makes things less confusing for me at least.

In tangential news, since I saw tedu in the man page, someone was wondering where he got off to a while ago and I don't think I saw a response. Hopefully he's doin OK? Please?
