Description:
Attached diff switches the iperf3 package to use a PGP-signed git tag for authenticity.

Additional info:
Upstream formerly signed release tarballs (https://downloads.es.net/pub/iperf/) but appears to have stopped this practice at some point.

can you please ask why they stopped signing tarballs and if they can start signing it again? Furthermore upstream would need to vouch that they keep using this signing key for all gitt release tags, please clarify this as well if possible. thank you!

mysta: Were you able to get in contact with upstream regarding this? They'd probably be amenable to going back to signing their releases!

Just sent upatream an email about it. I'll post an updated diff if they decide to do it. I'm not sure if the same person does the release each time though.
