Subject: gpg rpm signing - auto upgrade
AFAIK rpm files (/pub/Owl/current/i386/RPMS) are not sgined by pgp/gpg.
I think its a good idea and can help a lot people which dont build from
sources but use precompiled rpm packages.
It can also help to use some kind of automated upgrade procedures (yeah,
i know, i know ;) its not secure :) which is:
1. fetch rpm files (e.g. use mirror command from lftp)
2. check signatures (rpm --checksig)
3. use rpm -F --test *rpm - to test for conflicts/broken deps
4. do upgrade -F (without --test) or just email admin list of (already
fetched and verified) packages ready to upgrade.
