[ros-users] ROS Ubuntu Package Mirror

[Juergen Hess]

Hi Cedric,

to keep things simple and I also think that is the usual way to go, we have 
not set up an own key. We check the signature but do not sign the packages 
ourselves.
The signature of the packages still comes from ros.org. I guess the intuition 
is that you want to make sure that the package you download is exactly the 
same package as on ros.org.
Thus the ros.org key should work.
