Simon K commented on CASSANDRA-19110:
-------------------------------------
i agree with [~smarsching] on the directories, that it seems to be reserved for
distribution, just like the old `/etc/apt/trusted*` where globally for
everything.
i'm not personally a Debian user, so i don't know exactly what directories they
use, i'm an ubuntu user.
I do not like the idea to put keys in a folder that is trusted globally by
every apt source, just like `/etc/apt/trusted*` is.
But rather put it in a designated folder, just like `/etc/apt/keyrings` and
then point your source list to that specific key.
While verifying the GPG key of course.
I have not used `keyserver` for some time since it's always put it into the
globally trusted gpg file and i do not like that (seems like it might still use
apt-key??).
> apt-key deprecation, replace with gpg --dearmor in the docs.

> Priority: Normal
> Fix For: 3.0.x, 3.11.x, 4.0.x, 4.1.x, 5.0.x, 5.x

> the command `apt-key` is deprecated and soon to be removed, especially on
> Ubuntu.
> the directory `/usr/share/keyrings` for shared keys are also being removed.
> I suggest to convert the docs from
> {code:java}
> curl https://downloads.apache.org/cassandra/KEYS | sudo apt-key add - {code}
> to a simpler command:
> {code:java}
> curl https://downloads.apache.org/cassandra/KEYS | sudo gpg --dearmor -o
> /etc/apt/keyrings/cassandra-archive-keyring.gpg {code}
> The path `/etc/apt/keyrings` doesn't exists by default on Ubuntu 20.04 but it
> does on 22.04.
> I also suggest to add the source.list.d text from
> {code:java}
> $ echo "deb https://debian.cassandra.apache.org 42x main" | sudo tee -a
> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cassandra.sources.list
> deb https://debian.cassandra.apache.org 42x main{code}
> to
> {code:java}
> $ echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/cassandra-archive-keyring.gpg]
> https://debian.cassandra.apache.org 42x main" | sudo tee -a
> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cassandra.sources.list
> deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/cassandra-archive-keyring.gpg]
> https://debian.cassandra.apache.org 42x main {code}
> I have made a [PR|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/pull/2936]
> I have tested the gpg --dearmor on a VM with Ubuntu 22.04 myself recently and
> it works just fine.
