Which public key?

[fbantgat7]

The public key provided in the README file is different to the key on the mirrors.  The latter is the same as a the key shown in the announcement post.

This is the README key:

The public key for version 22.7 is:

The OPNsense-22.7.pub file in a couple of mirrors I checked is the same as the announcement post above.  The OPNsense-22.7.pub verifies the image and checksum signatures, so it seems the public key in the README is wrong.

Can you please confirm?

The README still had the 22.1 key referenced. It's fixed now. The public key file is the right one in any case as you can verify it using itself.

Maybe we could generate the README from the build tools and even sign it to avoid such issues in the future.

Thanks for noticing.


Cheers,
Franco
