See bug 998. Installer doesn't expect keys.
Right, that one slipped my mind. I guess that addresses the concern of
net installations as well.
For the other part, where mirrormanager directs requests to mirrors we
have ultimate control over... is this going to interfere with the local
mirrors someone like myself may have set up at home and at multiple
customer sites? E.g., will clients in these netblocks be redirected to
mirrors the Fedora Project has ultimate control over, or am I
misunderstanding what you are saying?
It's only for the queries for the old location. This drives all queries
for the old locations to our server so that we can get them the
transition fedora-release, pk and nothing else.
This invalidates the .jigdo files then, right? These query the
mirrorlist for the old location and need an old RPM file (or the
checksums won't match).
Once they get the new
fedora-release, they'll be hitting the new url, which mirror manager
will do the normal thing, drive them to site local, or drive them to geo
locations. As to what to do about site local mirrors for the old
location, I don't think that has been fully discussed, that's probably a
good item for nit-picking.
I guess if queries for the old location is redirected to a mirror fp.o
has ultimate control over, just to update fedora-release and pk, it
would not really pose a big problem as the clients will be redirected
back to their local mirrors once they get these two updates. I'm sure
there's some situations that block access to mirrors other then their
own local mirror, but the admins at these locations should be smart
enough to rewrite the requested URL in a (transparent?) proxy (which I
presume they'll have anyway).
It's a lot of work for little gain. What you're downloading, the isos,
and what you start using, the content from the isos, will be matching,
the same. It's the updates or extra packages you install after that
which will have a new key on them. Rpm doesn't currently possess a way
to verify the GPG keys on installed packages, so I'm told, so those
installed from isos having the old key doesn't much matter. It's the
new packages one would fetch over the internet that matter.
Given that one bug that slipped my mind, you're right... Not even
including the updates/ and/or updates.newkey/ repository during the
installation would form a problem. For the composing part, I don't see
how including os.newkey/ and updates.newkey/ would form a problem (even
though it might).
Kind regards,
