Then end of the world is not yet here. Please take a look at
http://en.opensuse.org/Secure_Installation_Sources , It works. I get a
warning, that and untrusted key is used, and if I really want to use it,
but still works.
I recompile (most) PackMan packages for PPC. If I update the repository,
all I have to do is to run three simple commands, which I combined in a
brain dead script (if we can call it that :-) ), using info from the
above mentioned URL.

factoryppc:/data # cat sign.sh
#!/bin/sh
cd /data/out/10.1-ppc
gpg -a --detach-sign repodata/repomd.xml
gpg -a --export > repodata/repomd.key

And then ./up.sh to rsync up everything to the ftp server...
But you are probably right, Joe Average should wait a bit, for example I
just found, that installation sources are not refreshed, even if marked
so. So updated packages were not found, as they were already deleted and
replaced by one with higher version number, and also new packages did
not show up. I'm running the latest factory now, so hopefully this bug
is not on GM :-)
Bye,
CzP
