OK, done. Updated version is at
http://gitorious.org/~jmrk/amarok/jmrk-clone/commits/scriptupdater. If
anyone prefers a patch instead of a git clone, I'm happy to post one
to this list or elsewhere. The repository for dummy updates has also
been updated with a new signature file (note that the dummy update no
longer works with the previous revision of the updater since I updated
the signature about half an hour ago).

I took the opportunity to improve the signing-related workflow a bit.
It now works as follows:
- cd into the directory where 'main.tar.bz2' and 'version' are
- execute the signer like this:
$ amarok-update-signer sign /path/to/privkey.pem
- the file 'signature' is created in the current directory (right
where it needs to be). Any existing 'signature' file is overwritten.


Any other thoughts? Anything else that needs to be changed?

Jakob
