NOTICE: in future releases we will move to a new RSA-2048 GPG package signing key. The new public key file, GPG-KEY-EUGridPMA-RPM-4, is distributed with this and subsequent releases. You can retrieve the new public key file from https://dl.igtf.net/distribution/GPG-KEY-EUGridPMA-RPM-4 A variant of the distribution signed with the new key is also available from https://dl.igtf.net/distribution/igtf/1.124-GPSK4/

Use in coordinated-deployment infrastructures --------------------------------------------- If you are part of a coordinated-deployment infrastructure (e.g. a national or regional e-Infrastructure, EGI, OSG, PRACE-RI, NAREGI or others) you may want to await their announcement before installing the release. They could include localised adaptations. For reference we include the links below: EGI https://edu.nl/envyq (i.e. EGI provider docs HOWTO01) wLCG https://lcg-ca.web.cern.ch Open Science Grid https://repo.opensciencegrid.org/cadist/ Not all IGTF releases are necessarily accompanied by infrastructure-specific releases. If changes in the IGTF distribution do not materially impact the distribution of the relying party, no associated release may be done, nor is there a reason to update such a distribution.
Supplementary download locations -------------------------------- The download repository is also mirrored by the EUGridPMA at https://dist.eugridpma.info/distribution/igtf/ and is also available from the Debian distribution for its supported version, e.g. https://packages.debian.org/sid/igtf-policy-classic
