The Funtoo Linux master GPG signing key is the drobbins@funtoo.org key (the "BDFL key"), which has the following signature:

GPG key name/emailGPG commentFingerprint
Daniel Robbins drobbins@funtoo.orgBDFLD3B9 48F8 2EE8 B402 0A04 1078 9A65 8306 E986 E8EE

To verify the integrity of stage3 tarballs using GPG, first download your preferred stage3 taball, and the matching file with the additional .gpg extension in the same directory. Next, we will receive the public master key from a public keyserver (specifying the last 8 digits of the BDFL fingerprint,) and assign ultimate trust to it:

user $ gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key E986E8EE
user $ gpg --edit-key E986E8EE
gpg> trust
Your decision? 5
Do you really want to set this key to ultimate trust? (y/N) y
gpg> quit

Each build server key has been signed by the BDFL key, so by trusting the BDFL key ultimately, you will automatically fully trust the build server key.

Next, head to GPG Signatures/Metro Plaintext Keys and copy and paste the public key and associated signatures for the metro build server into a file called node.txt. Then, import this key into GPG:

user $ gpg --import node.txt

Then, you can use the gpg --verify command to verify the stage3's GPG signature:

user $ gpg --verify stage3-latest.tar.xz.gpg stage3-latest.tar.xz

You should see output similar to this, which will specify the last 8 digits of the signing GPG fingerprint:

gpg: Signature made Sun 25 Dec 2016 03:57:27 PM MST using RSA key ID 613539CB
gpg: checking the trustdb
gpg: 3 marginal(s) needed, 1 complete(s) needed, PGP trust model
gpg: depth: 0  valid:   1  signed:   4  trust: 0-, 0q, 0n, 0m, 0f, 1u
gpg: depth: 1  valid:   4  signed:   0  trust: 3-, 1q, 0n, 0m, 0f, 0u
gpg: Good signature from "Daniel Robbins (metro:node) <drobbins@funtoo.org>" [full]
