Package: apt Version: 2.2.4 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: deb...@rocketjump.eu
Hi, I noticed that apt-key(8) prominently mentions being deprecated. However, the alternative is only mentioned in a single sentence under the "add" parameter, which is easily overseen. It would be great if the knowledge in [0] is poured into a man page to point users to. Specifically, I'd add a full section about key management to apt(8) or sources.list(5), and that ascii-armored keys need the .asc extension, binary encoded keys use need the .gpg extension, which Debian releases support which, and how to verify that the key is accepted. Thanks in advance!
