Re: [Spacewalk-list] "Security: GPG" section of Channel? What's it for?

2019-09-14 Thread Robert Paschedag 
The package manager (apt, zypper or yum or dnf) uses the signature to verify, 
that the metadata you're downloading (i.e. the Packages.gz on Debian) is not 
modified and is from a trusted source.

Only if the verification succeeds, the package manager will allow to install 
packages from that "source".

Betreff: [Spacewalk-list] "Security: GPG" section of Channel? What's it for?

Hi!  Does anyone know what the "Security : GPG" section of the channel is
for?  I.e., what component uses that information and how?

Thanks!
