It is fallout from the compromise this past summer. Because of risk to the signing key, the signing key was changed. In order to allow relatively seemless switch between the keys, while not allowing fallback the newkey repositories were created and the old update repositories changed to have just enough stuff to switch people to the new repositories. > Can I then simply rsync to a local ../updates/8/i386/ from the newkey > directory, or is there a procedure to follow that includes scripts > setting up stiff locally ? That should work OK. Within the repository directory all references should be relative, so as l;ong as your .repo file points to the correct top level directory, everything should work. -- fedora-list mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
