Hello all.

I've recently came over form spacewalk to suse manager, and found an issue, regarding spacewalk-repo-sync, because some of my inhouse software providers do not sign their repomd.xml file:

# spacewalk-repo-sync --channel inhousechannel

06:42:48 ======================================

06:42:48 | Channel: inhousechannel

06:42:48 ======================================

06:42:48 Sync of channel started.

Preparing custom SSL CAPATH at /var/cache/rhn/reposync/.ssl-certs/1

Retrieving repository 'inhousechannel' metadata ----------------------------------------------------------------[]

Warning: File 'repomd.xml' from repository 'inhousechannel' is unsigned.

    Note: Signing data enables the recipient to verify that no modifications occurred after the data

    were signed. Accepting data with no, wrong or unknown signature can lead to a corrupted system and in extreme cases even to a system compromise.

    Note: File 'repomd.xml' is the repositories master index file. It ensures the integrity of the  whole repo.

    Warning: We can't verify that no one meddled with this file, so it might not be trustworthy anymore! You should not continue unless you know it's safe.

File 'repomd.xml' from repository 'inhousechannel' is unsigned, continue? [yes/no] (no):

If i press y, the sync will occur, but i was wondering if there is a flag i can pass for the missing xml signature being ignored?

I know that is a BAD security error to do so, but at the present i really do not have any choice.

Can you help me please?

Thanks
Nuno
