sbopkg: checking asc and md5sum files

I would like to know if sbopkg checks the slackbuilds with the .asc
files. I rsynced the sbo directory from a live cd, and I don't know
if it did that then. I didn't notice if it checked when I built the
packages on my computer at home.

I assume sbopkg checks the MD5SUM for the packages when it downloads.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks.

I just committed a patch to sbopkg's SVN repository that now incorporates GPG checking of the SBo tarballs during the build/install process. Additionally, there are some new menu items that allow folks to manually check the GPG signature at any time or re-extract the SlackBuild tarball of a given piece of software in the repo.
