We are creating a series of YouTube videos under the “edu-“ label to guide users through the migration from ArcoLinux to Arch Linux. These tutorials aim to make the transition process smoother by explaining each step clearly and providing practical examples. Whether you’re switching to gain more control or to learn vanilla Arch, our edu- videos are here to support your journey.

ArcoLinux has stopped

Teaching never stops—because learning is a lifelong journey for all of us.

8 creating a gpg key to sign our Carli packages

In this article we create a key to sign our packages.

We follow this article to create the key.

https://www.arcolinuxiso.com/create-a-key-to-sign-your-packages/

Ensure you create a good personal and private keyword. Use lastpass or bitwarden or other password generators.

You will get a short key and a long key. Keep those numbers in a file for convenience.

Then we rebuild all our packages with our signature.

We also tell /etc/pacman.conf that we will be using signatures.

SigLevel = Required DatabaseOptional

We will be signing our database of Carli as well by changing the update_repo.sh.
