# checksums
This repository contains checksums for images, ISO's, and so on for Rocky Linux.
They are sorted by version into various directories.
| Release | Purpose |
|--------------------|--------------------------------|
| rocky-linux-8 | Rocky Linux 8 |
| rocky-linux-9 | Rocky Linux 9 |
| rocky-linux-rc | Rocky Linux Release Candidates |
| images | Rocky Linux Images per release |
This repository is mirrored here: https://git.resf.org/rocky-linux/checksums
# Why this repository?
One of the goals of this repository is to be a main point of reference for all
checksums for our images, regardless of release. It can also be a historical
reference as well because all versions will be available.
This repository is also a result of the following things:
* Keykeeper (part of the peridot build system) does not sign arbitrary files
or artifacts outside of the build system
* We are planning to move Rocky Linux 8 into the new build system, and along
with it, the keys that sign the packages and repository metadata
* Some users would rather have a place they can go to that is outside of the
mirror(s) to verify the signatures are valid and the checksums actually match
what they claim.
# So the commits are signed, how do I verify?
To verify our signature, click on "commits", click on the green "Verified"
button where you will see a GPG key ID. You can then search for this ID at
any of the following:
