Re: [ANNOUNCE] v4.9.30-rt20

[Bernhard Landauer <oberon@manjaro.org>]

Thanks a lot as always!
I have a question regarding packager keys:
It seems this time the patch has been signed with a different key than 
usual:

unknown public key 4FE5E3262872E4CC

Could you please let me know where you packager keys can be looked up?
Thanks

regards
Bernhard
