#1472: Varnish 4.0.0 packages for el6 are not signed
---------------------------------+-----------------------
 Reporter:  mortsa               |       Type:  defect
   Status:  new                  |   Priority:  high
Milestone:  Varnish 4.0 release  |  Component:  packaging
  Version:  4.0.0-beta1          |   Severity:  major
 Keywords:  gpg rpm security     |
---------------------------------+-----------------------
 None of the packages available at http://repo.varnish-
 cache.org/redhat/varnish-4.0/el6/x86_64/varnish/ are signed with a GPG
 key.

 When trying to to install varnish with gpgcheck=1 in the yum repository
 configuration file, I get the following error message:

 "Package varnish-4.0.0-0.20140328beta1.el6.x86_64.rpm is not signed"

 A similiar ticket (#906) [1] was created 3 years ago and it was closed
 with resolution set to "wontfix".

 Most of the software that is packaged and distributed as RPM packages by
 software vendors, are (or should be) signed by a GPG key from the software
 vendor by well-known reasons.

 The GPG key itself is commonly distributed as part of the release package
 (varnish-release), and the yum repository configuration file should
 contain "gpgcheck=1" to enable GPG signature checking on all packages in
 the repository.

 I hope you will prioritize this bug before Varnish 4.0.0 is released as
 stable.
