Why not download the signature first and compare that to a stored signature? A
signature is nothing but an encryption of a hash, so it's a good way to judge
whether a new grimoire tarball is available. Downloading the signature is
insignificant in comparison to downloading the tarball.

This way we are, in essence, comparing a hash of the grimoire, which is what 
we
actually want, as Jaka already mentioned. But we do it in such a way that we 
do
not need to store anything extra on the server. We only need to store the
signature of the currently installed grimoire somewhere on the system,
somewhere in /var/state/sorcery, or even in the grimoire itself.
