Hi, I created the Release and Release.gpg for the CD1, apt-ftparchive release . > Release in the root of the cd directory wich is acceded via ftp, here is the content
debian225:/home/ftp/cd1# ls autorun.inf dists g2ldr.mbr isolinux pool README.mirrors.txt * Release * tools css doc install md5sum.txt README.html README.source * Release.gpg* win32-loader.ini dedication.txt g2ldr install.386 pics README.mirrors.html README.txt setup.exe then the gpg file with gpg -bas -o Release.gpg Release I used apt-key add .gnupg/pubring.gpg apt-key add .gnupg/secring.gpg To complete the key list. Everything seemed fine, But when I try the installation, from a remote machien I always get the error : mirror is not available or release file not found ?? Secondly, how to disable the secure apt if the problem is there. thanks a lot bela On Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 1:02 PM, Osamu Aoki <os...@debian.org> wrote: > On Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 12:28:22PM +0100, abdelkader belahcene wrote: > > Hi, > > What is the role of Release.gpg in the debian site like for example > > http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/Release.gpg > > The cryptographic signature file "Release.gpg" is created from the > authentic top level "Release" file and the secret Debian archive key. > > > http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html#_top_level_release_file_and_authenticity > > > If I want to create a repository from the CD1, which doesn't contains > > Release.gpg, is it possible to add and how. > > The reason for the message is that I want to create a repository to > install > > on several machine the CD1, by using PXE. > > It fails when it searches for the Release file, so I suspect the absence > > Release.gpg is responsible. > > You can create it with your secret gpg key.
