The way I've been adding repos (following some advice on this mailing list some time ago is basically: $ wget http://example.com/repo.asc $ gpg --dearmor repo.asc # creates repo.asc.gpg $ mv repo.asc.gpg /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/repo.gpg $ sensible-editor /etc/apt/sources.list.d/repo.list deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/repo.gpg] http://example.com/repo stable main For the record, the advantage of doing this is that the GPG key can only validate packages coming from that repo; it can't validate any other repo (whereas keys in apt-key apply to ALL sources, potentially allowing cross-contamination). > >
