[Fate 300754] Yast/YOU should support rpmkey rpms
Last modified: 2007-01-25 11:54:16 UTC
With the Advanced Package Tool(apt) tools it is possible to import signatures by installing an rpm only. To give an example, my signature used to sign rpms, is imported by the following 1 liner: # apt install --no-checksig --no-postscript rpmkey-suser-rbos From here on, apt takes care of retrieving the rpm, investigates if the signature misses in the gpg signature ring and imports it, when the signature misses. Very convenient for the user. Especially as many rpmkeys have been collected in one place: http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/apt4rpm/rpmkeys/ More information about this at: http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/signing.html#rpmkey Well the feature request is to extend Yast, YOU and yum with the same functionality. The code that takes care of this functionality in apt is located at: /usr/lib/apt/scripts/gpg-import.lua (from the apt rpm).
For Code10
Well, actually rpmkey is a workaround for a bug in rpm. I would prefer fixing rpm so that 'rpm -i gpg-pubkey-...' works.
