Is this is blocked by how signing works? Right now the RPMs are sent to the signing server to run rpmsign, and the server runs on RHEL 9 (so RPM v4.16). I assume signing needs to happen on at least 6.0? If https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/pull/4218 makes it into RPM 6.1 we could move to the new signing server where rpmsign runs on the client and can be Fedora, but it seems unlikely to me that all that can be deployed before the mass rebuild, so it'd need to target at a minimum Fedora 46. - Jeremy -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/infra/tickets/issues/new
