As new Fedora release looms ahead, I'd like open discussion about
verifying distribution integrity. In short---where to get public key for
verifying RPM signatures.
If I remember correctly, you are asked to accept new signing key by rpm
while installing fedora-release package from new Fedora release. Problem
is, there is no way how how to verify the key beeing accepted.
I have been told by RPM developers, RPM allows multiple signatures.
Whould it be possible to sign fedora-relase package from F17 with key
used in F16 in addition?
No, rpm does not support multiple signatures in this sense. There are
all sorts of different "signature" types in rpm and several of are
typically present in any (signed) package, but that's a different thing
(rpm's notion of a "signature" is a bit exotic). There's no fundamental
limitation why it could not ever support this kind of scenario, but
currently it does not.
