Riak RPMs not GPG signed [JIRA: RIAK-1647]

[danieldreier]

The Riak RPM in the packagecloud yum repository is not GPG signed, so installing it requires that GPG validation be disabled. In the docs for using the yum repo a GPG key is linked to ("gpgkey=https://packagecloud.io/gpg.key") but gpgcheck is disabled ("gpgcheck=0") and so that key will never be used.

I think that packagecloud can sign these for you.

They never have been.

Is this a new requirement?

Hey @gcymbalski, this request is a valid new feature for us. It's certainly a standard in our industry. Thanks @danieldreier for opening it up. Our infrastructure team is building some pretty big projects of late so this may take a little while to address just so you know. Cheers! 🙇

[danieldreier]

thanks @mjbrender

[mbbroberg]

Hey @danieldreier - I guess I need to follow up on this elsewhere.

[danieldreier]

thanks @mjbrender - it's probably worth noting that packagecloud (which basho currently uses) can sign packages for you. I don't know what your build pipeline looks like but it should be relatively straightforward to enable that step.
