This is outside the scope of reprepro, which only handles the signing. On each client using that repository, you need to somehow arrange for the public key to be installed and added (using apt-key add). > When I try to apt-key add from the server I receive > gpg --keyserver hkp://software.astronautvista.com --recv-keys > E58B0D050AB78E99 > gpg: requesting key 0AB78E99 from hkp server software.astronautvista.com > gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 7: couldn't connect to host > gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. > gpg: Total number processed: 0 It looks like you're trying to use your Debian archive host as a key server to retrieve the public key. Unless you've explicitly installed and configured a PGP keyserver on your repository server, that isn't going to work; there's nothing on the archive server that speaks the HKP protocol. This isn't something reprepro does. The conventional way to handle this is to build a Debian package that installs the keyring and runs apt-key add, based off of packages like debian-archive-keyring, and then have all clients install that package. This requires a one-time confirmation that you're willing to install a package with an unknown signature. Alternately, you can manually import the public key into each client using apt-key add. How you obtain the public key is up to you in that case. Any trusted path works. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
