Hi all,

Scott noted that Mandriva complains about our packages, since our keys don't get installed during the installation process on that platform (I didn't know urpmi checked the signature...it didn't when I was last packaging for the platform). So, if you're getting key errors on Mandriva or SUSE, run the following commands, as root:

rpm --import http://software.virtualmin.com/lib/RPM-GPG-KEY-virtualmin
rpm --import http://software.virtualmin.com/lib/RPM-GPG-KEY-virtualmin

This is also apparently an issue on Ubuntu, but those packages aren't actually signed (I can't find any docs for how to sign the darned things, so we're not signing our debs yet). It'll be fixed soon.

Joe,

Read https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/devscripts/2.9.27ubuntu13

You need to install the devscripts and use debsign to sign the packages. man debrsign will give all the details you need.

Hope that helps.

Hey Scott,

Thanks for the link and advice. So Debian packages aren't actually signed, just the .dsc and .changes? I dunno what to make of that. (We've gotta change our build scripts some, because we aren't generating .dsc and .changes files right now!)

I really hate deb packages. Even though they can use rpm's which is a better form of packaging they still want to use a ancient packaging format that only 2 distro's use.

RPM's are far more superior to deb.
