Repositories That Require Keys and Certificates (Overview)
Some repositories require that you obtain keys and certificates for access to packages.
Table 4-1 describes those repositories.
Repositories either publish a complete catalog of packages for a complete installation of
an operating system or publish a small set of packages for specific purposes.
The following repositories contain a small set of packages that rely on a
preferred authority that can provide the bulk of the operating system content. A
preferred authority has a sufficiently complete catalog to enable an installation of the
operating system.
