Are the Jolla Store rpms signed by jolla? so that you can be sure that the download completed correctly and the signature matches from Jolla?

Some of the packages are signed. For example jolla-alarm-ui has a signature:

$ rpm -qi jolla-alarm-ui
Name : jolla-alarm-ui
...
Signature : DSA/SHA1, Wed 27 Nov 2013 13:46:05 EET, Key ID 68ebdd7df2633ee0
...

But for example "less" isn't signed: Signature : (none), but I think I installed that from mer-tools repository that needs to be activated separately.

Jolla RPM seems to be signed by Jolla, however, other Harbour applications, like puzzlemaster, are not signed.

[nemo@localhost ~]$ rpm -qi harbour-puzzle-master
Name        : harbour-puzzle-master
....
License     : GPLv2+
Signature   : (none)
...

so, the signing is left to the app provider... not sure if that's a good idea...

I would prefer harbour apps to be signed by some harbour key

I agree. Better open a new post to ask for them to be signed ?
