May I suggest that you also provide checksums for the tarball? I'm 
updating the FreeBSD port, and wanted to verify the SHA256 sum. As it's 
been downloaded from the NUT website, I know the odds of the source 
being tainted are astronomical, but if it's for a distribution, I 
thought I'd be extra cautious.
As it is I've verified the GPG sig (never used it before) and used the 
computed SHA sum.

Regards,
John

I've added a SHA256 hash, and referenced it in the download section:
http://www.networkupstools.org/download.html

I've not yet updated the documentation, but it's simple as downloading
the
nut archive and the matching .sha256 file. Then using:
$ sha256sum -c nut-2.6.0.tar.gz.sha256

You should get back:
nut-2.6.0.tar.gz: OK

thanks for your feedback,
Arnaud
