We're quite close to releasing the transition fedora-release package to
bring users of Fedora 8 and Fedora 9 to the new updates location with
the new key.  However we're seeing some mixed results in our limited
testing and thus we'd like to open it for a wider testing audience.

In particular we're looking for users of PackageKit on Fedora 9 to test
this, as our yum and pirut results have been pretty rock solid.

To test, you will need to modify your fedora-updates.repo file in the
[updates] section, comment out the mirrorlist url, uncomment the baseurl
line and make the line read:

baseurl=http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/mash/updates/f$releasever-updates.jktest/$basearch/

(note, if you have updates-testing enabled, you should disable it during this test)

Save the file and initiate an update with PackageKit (System ->
Administration -> Update System)

This should show you 5 or so updates:
  fedora-release
  PackageKit-*
  unique
  gnome-packagekit

Once these updates are installed, you'll have a new set of .repo files,
fedora-updates(-testing)-newkey.repo.  These repo files will be pointing
you to mirror manager to find mirrors that have all the newly resigned
updates as well as some new updates you haven't seen before.  PackageKit
should automatically notice these updates a few minutes after installing
the previously mentioned 5 or so updates, and prompt you to install the
rest of them.

Works fine.
