This repository provides mostly neuroscience-related packages to be used on
Debian_ systems (or Debian-derivatives like Ubuntu_). It contains both unofficial
or prospective packages which are not (yet) available from the main Debian_
archive, as well as backported or simply rebuilt packages also available
elsewhere. Please see the :ref:`faq` for more information about the goals of
-this project.

Once this is done, you have to update the package index. Use your favorite
package manager, e.g. synaptic, adept, or whatever you like. In the terminal
about which package version is available for which release and architecture,
please have a look at the corresponding package pages.

-Package authentication
-----------------------
-
-When you start using this repository, you probably get warning messages
-like this::
-
- The following signatures couldn't be verified because
- the public key is not available.`
-
-Or you will be asked questions like this over and over::
-
- WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
- ...
- Install these packages without verification [y/N]?
-
-This is because your APT installation initially does not know the GPG
-key that is used to sign the release files of this repository. It is easy to
-make APT happy again:
-
-1. Get the key. Either download the `repository key from here
- <_static/neuro.debian.net.asc>`_
- or fetch it from http://wwwkeys.pgp.net (2649A5A9).
-
-2. Now feed the key into APT by invoking::
-
- apt-key add #file#
-
- Where `#file#` has to be replaced with the location of the key file you just
- downloaded. You need to have superuser-privileges to do this (either do it
- as root or use sudo).
+After this initial setup you probably also want to configure your package
+manager to recognize the NeuroDebian archive key. With this key the package
+manager can verify that packages haven't been modified and are identical with
+the ones in the main NeuroDebian archive, regardless of which mirror you
+downloaded them from. The NeuroDebian key id is **2649A5A9**. If you need further
+help setting up package authentication, please take a look at
+:ref:`corresponding FAQ <sec_pkg_authentication>`.
