#5541 Fedora GPG keys
Closed: Invalid None Opened 11 years ago by msuchy.

For each release Fedora use new GPG key:
https://fedoraproject.org/nb/keys

And they are required for upgrade to Fedora n+1
So they have to be part of upgrade tools.

But this keys are created only short time before release of Fedora n+1.
Which imply that upgrade tools needs to be (re)build short time before
release of Fedora as well.
This is suboptimal.

I would like to suggest that GPG keys for Fedora n+1 are created just
after release of Fedora n. Or at least when Fedora n+1 is git branched.
This will give authors of upgrade tools more time for development and code
stabilization even when the packages are not yet signed in early phase of
Fedora.


as of fedora 18 we already do this
