Providing a Keyring for Import
|
||||||
|
------------------------------
|
||||||
|
A distribution or other repository provided may want to provide a set of valid
|
||||||
|
PGP keys used in the signing of its packages and repository databases that can
|
||||||
|
be readily imported into the pacman keyring. This is achieved by providing a
|
||||||
|
PGP keyring file `foo.gpg` that contains the keys for the foo keyring in the
|
||||||
|
directory +{pkgdatadir}/keyrings+. Optionally the file `foo-revoked` can be
|
||||||
|
provided containing a list of revoked key IDs for that keyring. These files are
|
||||||
|
required to be signed (detached) by a trusted PGP key that the user must
|
||||||
|
manually import to the pacman keyring. This prevents a potentially malicious
|
||||||
|
repository adding keys to the pacman keyring without the users knowledge.
