+</I>&gt;<i> Yes, we should add an option somewhere to allow this.

+isn't it easier if local overrides would also provide a way to add keys that
+can be validated, imo.
+
+I'm writing urpmi-proxy, and and i would like to have a good way to have local
+overrides with their own key signed.
+
+perhaps if a diff key is detected, a certain procedure could be started that
+could ask the user if this key is trusted or not, or refer to somewhere else?
+
+also, thinking on the upgrade path from Mandriva, i'm not sure how...
