First off all, thanks for the work put into the completely new repository setup with the new signing keys. All we had to do as users was be patient, and follow a few rather straightforward instructions on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Enabling_new_signing_key As a side note, may I suggest adding something to that page about disabling 3rd party repositories while switching over to the new keys? Before I had a chance to upgrade, Livna already had packages (xine-libs-extra-nonfree) that depended on updates that were only available in the Fedora update-newkey repositories. Of course as simple as yum --disablerepo=livna upgrade, but is that simple and straightforward to the avarage user as well? Perhaps the same is true for other repositories like freshrpms? Things will probably get more complicated when further updates become available in the 3rd party repositories, so I guess a note about this in the wiki page would be in order. Now for my real questions: the special cases. Does it work to specify the new .newkey repository in anaconda (or in a kickstart file) when doing a fresh install? I guess not, since I don't see the new fedora-release package inside those repositories, so when I add these directories in stead of the old ones without the .newkey in the name, anaconda will not have a way to import the new keys, right? Does this mean that there is for teh time being no other way for fresh installs than to install from the original fedora 9 release, and pull in all the updates later, after setting up the new keys? Similarly, will preupgrade still work? I tried that to upgrade a system from fedora 8 to 9 when I noticed specifying an update repository in anaconda was not working as I expected. It seems to load only the F9 packages as originally released, which are in some cases older than the current fedora 8 packages. Will this work? I'm not proceeding with the upgrade right now (it's not a test system, but a machine that is in use an dI cannot allow too much downtime just to test if the upgrade will succeed). If no one knows the answers here, I'm willing to install Fedora8 on my test system tomorrow and try the upgrades (test system is running Fedora 10 alpha right now, so nothing that cannot be sacrificed, given enough time) David Jansen -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
