perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Paul Gunn <>]

Hi,

I'm was trying to make some changes to my perfSONAR fleet, and my ansible playbook broke. 

I'm installing onto Ubuntu 1604, and the playbook is pretty much a line for line translation of the installation instructions on 

http://docs.perfsonar.net/install_debian.html

The section that's breaking is adding the gpg.key to the apt-key list.

wget -qO - http://downloads.perfsonar.net/debian/perfsonar-debian-official.gpg.key | apt-key add -

gunn@ps06-fst:~$ wget  http://downloads.perfsonar.net/debian/perfsonar-debian-official.gpg.key

Looking around http://downloads.perfsonar.net/debian/, it looks like there's identical keys in each release, but no common key perfsonar-debian-official.gpg.key at the top anymore

gunn@ps06-fst:~$ md5sum perf*

0a476b3aa8825f7e568b18bf73dadc6d  perfsonar-jessie-release.gpg.key

0a476b3aa8825f7e568b18bf73dadc6d  perfsonar-release.gpg.key

0a476b3aa8825f7e568b18bf73dadc6d  perfsonar-wheezy-release.gpg.key

Identical keys, and the same key that I already have installed.

Do we have to add new keys each time we move to a new release? Is there a better default path that the doco should specify?

I can work around this today, I'll just disable the (re)import of the key.

Thanks,
