[Spacewalk-list] GPG Key setting for Channel Details?

[Cameron Kerr]

In my experience its somewhat advisory (ie. will work without it), and I believe you can have packages that are signed with a different key if needed. You would create your own GPG key for package signing using the GPG tools.

Word of warning though, do not create a signing key on RHEL6 and use it to sign packages that will be deployed to RHEL5, as this will cause incompatibilities and the packages will not validate correctly on RHEL5. Instead, either use a separate RHEL5 and RHEL6 key, or if you need a package be consumed on both RHEL5 and RHEL6, sign them with a RHEL5 key.

Hope it helps,
Cameron Kerr

Does this need to be set and if so, which GPG key do I use?
