Description of problem: The release keys at https://fedoraproject.org/keys are self signed. I think that the release keys should be signed by the previous version. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fedora-release-19-5.noarch How reproducible: Very. Steps to Reproduce: 1. wget https://fedoraproject.org/static/246110C1.txt 2. gpg --import 246110C1.txt 3. gpg --check-sigs 246110C1 Actual results: pub 4096R/246110C1 2013-05-16 uid Fedora (20) <fedora> sig!3 246110C1 2013-05-16 Fedora (20) <fedora> Expected results something like: pub 4096R/246110C1 2013-05-16 uid Fedora (20) <fedora> sig!3 246110C1 2013-05-16 Fedora (20) <fedora> sig! FB4B18E6 2013-05-16 Fedora (19) <fedora> Additional info: I expected that the Fedora (20) key should have been signed by the Fedora (19) key. This would let me verify that somehow or other the Fedora (20) key I am downloading has not been substituted. This has been complained about on the web at http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/rfvhl/why_arent_the_fedora_gpg_keys_signed_question_in/
Reassigning to sigul because AFAIK it doesn't allow us to sign other keys. note that we are shipping keys for newer rleases in older releases fedora-release packages. you can build trust that way.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Still in Fedora 22 $ gpg --check-sigs 8E1431D5 A29CB19C pub 4096R/8E1431D5 2014-07-09 uid Fedora (22) <fedora> sig!3 8E1431D5 2014-07-09 Fedora (22) <fedora> pub 4096R/A29CB19C 2014-07-09 uid Fedora Secondary (22) <fedora> sig!3 A29CB19C 2014-07-09 Fedora Secondary (22) <fedora> sub 4096g/9A007DB4 2014-07-09 sig! A29CB19C 2014-07-09 Fedora Secondary (22) <fedora>
We do not have access to the keys to be able to fulfill this request.
