archlinux-keyring

The archlinux-keyring project holds PGP packet material and tooling (keyringctl) to create the distribution keyring for Arch Linux. The keyring is used by pacman to establish the web of trust for the packagers of the distribution.

The PGP packets describing the main signing keys can be found below the keyring/main directory, while those of the packagers are located below the keyring/packager directory.

The following packages need to be installed to be able to create a PGP keyring from the provided data structure and to install it:

  • make
  • python
  • sequoia-sq

Installation

To install archlinux-keyring system-wide use the included Makefile:
