> To test, you will need to modify your fedora-updates.repo file in the
> [updates] section, comment out the mirrorlist url, uncomment the baseurl
> line and make the line read:
>
> baseurl=
> http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/mash/updates/f$releasever-updates.jktest/$basearch/
>
> (note, if you have updates-testing enabled, you should disable it during
> this test)
>
> Save the file and initiate an update with PackageKit (System ->
> Administration -> Update System)
>
> This should show you 5 or so updates:
>  fedora-release
>  PackageKit-*
>  unique
>  gnome-packagekit
>
> Once these updates are installed, you'll have a new set of .repo files,
> fedora-updates(-testing)-newkey.repo.  These repo files will be pointing
> you to mirror manager to find mirrors that have all the newly resigned
> updates as well as some new updates you haven't seen before.  PackageKit
> should automatically notice these updates a few minutes after installing
> the previously mentioned 5 or so updates, and prompt you to install the
> rest of them.
>
> This is where things get dicey.  Once PackageKit downloads all your
> updates, you'll be prompted to import a new key (see
> https://fedoraproject.org/keys for currently used keys).  After clicking
> yes to import the key (after you verified it) the PackageKit dialog will
> disappear while it does the import, and it should come back, or at least
> the panel icon will come back to indicate that it is trying once again
> to install your updates.  The update installation /should/ succeed,
> that's what we're looking for.
>
> You can monitor all of this activity with 'pkmon' on the terminal, which
> is a good idea because if it fails for you in some way, the output from
> pkmon during the failure will be important to resolving the issue.
>
> Please keep good notes if you experience failures and capture
> screenshots.

> Known problems resemble something like

> Thanks everybody for the testing!
