Supporting multiple keys for signing repositories #691

Description

@lazyfrosch

With the plan of transition keys with a repository I wondered if we can support this in aptly.

Detailed Description

Debian signs its repositories with multiple keys, using multiple generations of keys over each release.

It might be wise to support this in aptly. Mainly for changing keys without breaking users right away.

Sources:

Context

  • Security and GPG Key Exchange
  • Best usability for users without forcing a hard change

Possible Implementation

While configuration would be easy (just setting multiple key IDs), it might be tricky to do with gnupg2.

I haven't done much testing yet, but had a look on the Debian repositories.
