Description
On self-signed rpm-md repositories we need to import the own GPG key for it to be accepted.
Currently there is not built in Directive to do this.
Basically one needs to be able to import/verify/remove an ASCII Armored pub key using rpm --import, and it should be ensured that this key is trusted on the System.
See rpm manual:
Digital signatures cannot be verified without a public key. An ASCII armored public key can be added to the rpm database using --import. An imported public key is carried in a header, and key ring management is performed exactly like package management. For example, all currently imported public keys can be displayed by: rpm -qa gpg-pubkey* Details about a specific public key, when imported, can be displayed by querying. Here's information about the Red Hat GPG/DSA key: rpm -qi gpg-pubkey-db42a60e Finally, public keys can be erased after importing just like packages. Here's how to remove the Red Hat GPG/DSA key rpm -e gpg-pubkey-db42a60e
