Hi,

Hauke's version of the Makefile doesn't work for me unfortunately.

Here's what I get (on ubuntu 9.10 karmic)...

 > make
wget -nc -O root-anchors.xml 
https://data.iana.org/root-anchors/root-anchors.xml && touch root-anchors.xml

Note the "gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found" message.

the root-anchors.asc file contains only a signature..

 > cat root-anchors.asc

..where's the pubkey supposed to come from to validate it?  If GPG is supposed 
to suck it over the net, maybe that's the problem?

(i've tried it from two different machines that are behind two different ISPs 
and middleboxes, failed both times)

thanks,

=JeffH
