(Even if sometimes I play one on TV.) Why is this preferable to what's in the README.txt (i.e. "wget -O - https://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/5/rsa.pub | apt-key add -") ? You import the key once, and it works for every update after that? That's what Louis Zuckerman (a.k.a. semiosis), the original gluster debian packager suggested. I don't know enough to know why your deb cmd is better than semiosis' apt-key add cmd? Also the fact that the key hasn't actually changed since glusterfs-5 means, among other things, you only need to change the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gluster.list and updates to -6 or -7 will just keep working with the key you already imported. As an example of why this is useful, Gluster 7 has been released since my > original mail, so now the key for LATEST is at > https://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/7/rsa.pub instead of > https://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/6/rsa.pub.

Some people want to install glusterfs-6 and stay on -6, i.e. .../glusterfs/6/LATEST. And they'd be really upset if they came in one morning to find that an automatic update (however good or bad an idea that is) had updated them to glusterfs-7 when they weren't ready for it. (And worse, if it broke their system.) And apropos of nothing in particular, perhaps we should create a new key for glusterfs-8 when that time comes; it's probably time. > On Mon, Sep 9, 2019 at 11:42 PM Kaleb Keithley <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> What is the issue that this would solve? >> >> The Debian README.txt files and RPM repo files for 6.x all say the >> rsa.pub is at >> https://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/6/rsa.pub and have >> since day one. >> >> (Likewise the rsa.pub for 5.x is at >> https://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/5/rsa.pub) >> <https://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/6/rsa.pub> >> >> >> On Mon, Sep 9, 2019 at 10:29 PM Shane St Savage < >> [email protected]> wrote: >> >>> Hello, >>> >>> Any chance of getting an rsa.pub available in >>> >>> https://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/LATEST/ >>> >>> at >>> >>> https://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/LATEST/rsa.pub >>> >>> ? >>> >>> (in this case, it should be >>> https://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/6/rsa.pub). >>> >>> Thanks, >>> Shane >>> >>
