The installing OS doesn't really make any difference. We store a mapping
of GPG Key ids -> Providers in the rhnPackageKey table.  Here's an
example of an insertion that we do upon installation of spacewalk:

#sqlplus spacewalk/spacewalk at xe

sqlplus>  insert into rhnPackageKey (id, key_id, key_type_id,
provider_id) values
(rhn_pkey_id_seq.nextval, 'b44269d04f2a6fd2',
lookup_package_key_type('gpg'), lookup_package_provider('Fedora'));

This requires on their being a package provider (from
rhnPackageProvider) named 'Fedora'.  To insert that, we ran:

sqlplus>  insert into rhnPackageProvider (id, name) values
(rhn_package_provider_id_seq.nextval, 'Fedora' );
sqlplus>commit


To get the gpg key ID that you need to insert, simply run 'rpm -qip
package.rpm' and look for the "Key ID" field.   I'd like to make a UI
for adding package Ids and providers, but currently there isn't a way to
do that.  What were the GPG ids for packages that are showing up as unknown?
