We have SUMA 3.1.2 installed and are trying to sync a custom repo we created:

Does SUMA not honour the “GPG URL” field when you create a channel? Why is it using the wrong URL for the GPG key?

Redhat honors the “GPG URL” field only for file:// based URLs: [https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2012-January/msg00202.html](https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2012-January/msg00202.html). Is SUMA doing something similar? If so, what is the magic pathname where I need to deposit the GPG key for the above repo?
