Where can I find a list of gpg keys and instructions for installing

My temporary solution to the problem is simply disabling the gpg check
as I run into the problem with livna, dries, etc.
I would prefer to have everything working properly.  I believe I found a
page that had them all once but I seem to have lost that information and
google has not been much help.

Thanks.

You can find the keys on the ISO image, or on any of the mirror
sites. Look for files like:

RPM-GPG-KEY
RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora
RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-extras

You install them using rpm --import as root.

rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora

Some (all?) repositories have an RPM that installs the key for the
repo and installs the necessary file to use them.

Thank you for the help.  I think I was able to get a Livna key installed
but just finding a list seems to be a problem.  I should thin they all
should be available from one place rather than the complicated mess I
have to deal with.

for instance google took me to the following:

]# rpm --import http://dries.ulyssis.org/rpm/RPM-GPG-KEY-dries.txt
error: http://dries.ulyssis.org/rpm/RPM-GPG-KEY-dries.txt: import read
failed(-1).
Segmentation fault
Yet I can find the key as a text file at that address and could copy it
if I could find where GPG keys are  filed.  The yum man page says
nothing about keys and I couldn't "locate" any yum GPG key files.  There
must be some because yum works for routine updates?

Strange, when I try to use that address, I get a page not found
error. This is probably what RPM was complaining about. You may want
to try:

http://dries.studentenweb.org/rpm/RPM-GPG-KEY.dries.txt

Why is this so difficult?   Is it just me?

Now, as far as where the keys are stored, yum does not store the
keys. RPM stores the keys in a database. When you run "rpm --import
<key>", you are telling RPM to add the key to its database. It does
not matter where the key file is, as long as you give RPM the
correct path to the key file. (If it is in the current directory,
you do not have to specify a path.)

The reason the keys are not all in the same place is that repos like
Dries. Livna, and Fresh RPMS are independent from Fedora. They have
packages that are not included in Fedora because of their license,
or can not be distributed because of other issues. Some are not
legal to use is specific countries. Those Repositories are no
maintained by Redhat or Fedora. They are provided by users wanting
to contribute to the community.

Ok, thanks to all who responded, I think all my questions are answered.

I don't anticipate any further problem ...

Again, thanks much.
