hi  forumers!
can anybody enlighten me on -

whats the use of the gpgcheck=xx  in /etc/yum.conf  -file?
If I hex it off will it affect  installing/updating ?

I do : yum update pkgname*  ; (* - wildcad)
I get  a lot of transactions and checking, then I see the required pkg lisited.
I press y and then it always tell me 'NOKEY" and other things,
then it exit doing nothing ? I dont get the pkgname installed .

Has it got to do with this gpgcheck thing ?
Then how do I  get this gpgkey and where do I have to install it to
make it work ?
I always see some gpgkey files in some mirrors dirs, have they got to be
downloaded to my /root ??

Kupoon-mak !! dankeschon

Thanks for these tips! I'll have to look into them in detail soon
(especially the Epoch method, since it seems to require modification
only in the built packages). Although the method suggested by Seth and
Leslie is interesting for its simplicity, it seems kind of ugly to me
because of its necessity for additional local configuration. Not that I
have that many clients to maintain, but it's more fun to do it properly,
right? :)

Thanks again!
