RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
When adding repos to a kickstart file, there is no way to pass a GPG key for validation of packages.

As a result, it is difficult to verify the authenticity of packages
installed from kickstart repos.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):pykickstart-1.99.43.17-1.el7


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Build a kickstart file which adds EPEL to the list of repos
( repo --name=EPEL --mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-7&arch=$basearch )
2.look for way to specify all packages in this repo must be signed by a specific key
3.

Actual results:
There is no way to pass a GPG key for validation of packages for kickstart.

Expected results:
Ability to GPG verify packages within kickstart repos

Additional info:

This would have to be implemented in anaconda as well.  pykickstart just provides the kickstart file parsing functionality.  If anaconda is unable to do this, we should close out the bug.

After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release.  Therefore, it is being closed.  If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened.
