By default this is the case, but you can configure DNF to validate signatures for all cases if you want. You just set localpkg_gpgcheck=1 in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf That said, you probably don't want to do that, since most downloaded packages aren't signed... -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
