As new Fedora release looms ahead, I'd like open discussion about verifying distribution integrity. In short---where to get public key for verifying RPM signatures. If I remember correctly, you are asked to accept new signing key by rpm while installing fedora-release package from new Fedora release. Problem is, there is no way how how to verify the key beeing accepted. I have been told by RPM developers, RPM allows multiple signatures. Whould it be possible to sign fedora-relase package from F17 with key used in F16 in addition? This procedure would create chain of trust from older to newer Fedora release making upgrade more secured. Of course other good approach is to sign F17 public key by well-known Fedora developers and publish the key with its singatures, e.g. on PGP key servers. -- Petr -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
