From e36adf0656188ddb03f4302f3dc9f9a36b9884c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Micah Anderson Date: Tue, 4 Nov 2008 15:45:09 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Reworked the download page to link from "add this key to your apt configuration" to the /archive-key page, pushing the SecureApt reference link into that page. This has a streamlining affect on new users wanting to get started as it links directly to the archive-key page where there are explicit instructions for how to do the archive key verification and then the follow-up add to the apt keyring for proper archive/package verification. The way it was before, you were given the link to the more general SecureApt debian wiki page, which was a lot of information, when in most cases people just want to know what steps they need to know to do the verification/addition. However, the link to the SecureApt page is valuable to reference, it just makes more sense to be embedded in the page which explicitly deals with that. This also means I added information about how to add the key to the apt keyring into the archive-key page. In doing so, I removed the dkg-specific prompt (not because I dont like it, but because it would have been funny for me to add more commands and have to manually construct his prompt to maintain consistency on the page). Also, added some output of commands so people have an idea what to expect. --- website/archive-key.mdwn | 30 ++++++++++++++++++++++-------- website/download.mdwn | 7 +++---- 2 files changed, 25 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/website/archive-key.mdwn b/website/archive-key.mdwn index 45ac86e..6658469 100644 --- a/website/archive-key.mdwn +++ b/website/archive-key.mdwn @@ -4,30 +4,44 @@ ## Verifying the key ## The [Monkeysphere apt repository](/download) is signed by this key, so -you can verify that the packages come from the right place and have -not been tampered with. +you [can verify](http://wiki.debian.org/SecureApt) that the packages +come from the right place and have not been tampered with.
