Unsigned Package

[Sean Earp]

To answer my own question, I was able to make YUM proceed by editing 
/etc/yum.conf to make GPGCHECK=0.  That having been said, I think that 
checking the GPG Signature probably falls under the category of "A Good 
Thing".  Is the problem that some (or all) of the rawhide packages are 
not signed, is/was there a yum bug, did I not import the correct keys, 
or was there something else going on?
