First, thanks for all the work to get this back on track.
I went and got the new spins of qt-4.4. Now I can't install the because I
don't have the new key. I realize I could turn off the key, but after last
month, that seems dicier than it used to be.
In any event, is the new key for updates 9 available someplace. I realize
it'll be part of fedora release eventually. But the public key itself, is it
out there someplace now?
I think its part of the new fedora-release package and is available on
the fedora project site here
