Can someone please review the oclock package? This was orphaned after F35, and 
I packaged it for myself, and then would like to put it up. It was tentatively 
approved, but never finally done so. Thanks!

To elaborate on this, the procedure described in xfontsel.spec finds the
key that was used to make the signature, so whoever made the signature
becomes the trusted upstream.

If you do that *once*, it's a form of trust on first use. It lets you
discover future attacks as long as you continue using the same key,
assuming that you got the right key to begin with.

If you would repeat the key lookup every time you upgrade the package,
then you would render the verification meaningless. You'd just be
verifying that the tarball was signed by whoever signed the tarball. So
don't do that.
