While reading this page, I noticed that the image verification instructions are outdated. Specifically, that web site currently suggests:

Check the integrity of the download curl https://getfedora.org/static/fedora.gpg | gpg --import gpg --verify-files *-CHECKSUM sha256sum -c *-CHECKSUM

Due to the recent gpg.fail presentation, the main Fedora web site has updated the instructions, see this issue for the discussion. It would be nice if the docs website also updated the instructions in a similar manner.

Okay, I replaced that point in the procedure with a link to the instructions on fedoraproject.org so we don't document the same thing twice. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/raspberry-pi/#_installing_fedora_on_a_raspberry_pi_using_the_fedora_arm_installer

Thanks. That looks good. I'm reopening this issue as there are a few other pages that should also be updated in a similar manner. Searching for gpgv on the wiki, I found:

Ah, okay.

I'm currently on a conference until next Friday and my ability to fix stuff is limited, but I'm aware of the issue. If you find any other instances, add another comment, and I'll fix everything when I can.
