Key provided by OBS is outdated

[stdedos]

The key provided at the https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Arockowitz&package=ddcutil site is outdated.
Instead, the key provided by sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rockowitz/ddcutil works (but provides outdated packages).

Am I doing something wrong, or that is indeed the case somehow? 😕

Re OBS, I assume you're referring to files like"https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:rockowitz/Raspbian_9.0/Release.key. I'm not sure what is going on here, as the files are generated by OBS. I'm hardly an OBS expert, so perhaps someone familiar with OBS can clarify what's happening.

Re Launchpad, perhaps you're referring to the fact that the latest ddcutil release there is 1.3.0, although on github it is 1.3.2. The only changes from 1.3.0 to 1.3.2 are to the Autotools files that create the tarball submitted to Debian, in order to delete junk and other unused files. The built executables are the same. I have noted this on the github Release announcement for 1.3.0 and on www.ddcutil.com. Or perhaps you're referring to the fact that the version for Impish is 1.2.2 instead of 1.3.0. Launchpad makes it difficult to build a package for other than the most recent Ubuntu release. The Jammy repository can be used for all versions of Ubuntu. This should be better documented.

If most of my worries are "resolution: documentation needed" and, pls read the docs ... oops 😕
Sorry about that.

I have been seen apt complain too much, and I was wondering if you were familiar with them 😄
Glad to have that documented in an searchable issue! (feel free to close this ticket from my POV)
