Repository w signed packages for Digilent Waveforms RPM

[Kevin.C]

We're looking to get access to a repository with signed packages for the Digilent Waveforms RPM (the ones that can be downloaded here: https://lp.digilent.com/complete-waveforms-download/). Specifically looking for the x86_64 linux rpm, but the rest of them wouldnt hurt either. 

Where can I get help with this?

Hi @Kevin.C,

I believe the latest beta versions (3.22.14 onwards) of WaveForms are now signed as per this thread from last month:

The beta versions are freely available here:

The next release version of WaveForms will be signed as well, but I am not certain when the next release will be; it usually coincides with a compatible product release, but Digilent does not have anything to announce as of yet.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
JColvin

Hey @JColvin, thank you for the quick response here! This is certainly very useful. 

Is there anyway that we could get a repository of these that we could pull from?

Hi @Kevin.C,

There is no repository for the beta versions; that one Forum thread started by the WaveForms developer is where all users, including myself, are able to get any of the beta versions.

In terms of release versions (again, no release signed Linux variants at time of writing), the official location to get the latest release is within the My Products section of the Digilent website: https://cloud.digilent.com/myproducts/waveform?tab=2.

Otherwise, in terms of a slightly more repository-like version, you can also get the previous release versions of WaveForms from here: https://digilent.com/reference/software/waveforms/waveforms-3/previous-versions.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
JColvin

Hey @JColvin, thanks for the response here! 

One last question: Where could I find the corresponding public key that I can use to verify that the signed beta versions were signed? Looking for a GPG key here

Hi @Kevin.C,

I am uncertain on the public key for WaveForms; that will be answered by the WaveForms developer (Attila) on the https://forum.digilent.com/topic/28525-digilent-adept-runtime-package-header-is-not-signed/. I saw you pinged him on it yesterday and that he got another ping from the Adept developer today, so I hope to hear some details on this once his European timezone is in normal business hours to confirm if the key is different than the Adept key and if the 3.22.2 release will be back-updated.

The public GPG for Adept (you need to get Adept Runtime installed first on Linux prior to WaveForms) can be found here: https://cloud.digilent.com/myproducts/Adept?tab=2.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
JColvin
