…verification Helm now auto-detects keybox (pubring.kbx) and ASCII-armored public keyrings during verification, so converting to the legacy pubring.gpg format is no longer required. Signing still needs a binary secret keyring. Reflects helm/helm#32281. Signed-off-by: promptless[bot] <promptless[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
| **Warning:** the GnuPG v2 store your secret keyring using a new format `kbx` on | ||
| the default location `~/.gnupg/pubring.kbx`. Please use the following command | ||
| to convert your keyring to the legacy gpg format: | ||
| **Note:** Since GnuPG v2.1, public keys are stored in a keybox file |

Rewrote the note based on PR #32281, which makes loadKeyRing (pkg/provenance/sign.go) format-aware so verification auto-detects keybox (pubring.kbx), ASCII-armored (gpg --export --armor), and legacy binary keyrings — removing the need to convert to pubring.gpg. defaultKeyring() in pkg/cmd/dependency_build.go now falls back to pubring.kbx. The PR scope is public-keyring reads (verification) only; the --sign secret-key path is unchanged, so the guidance to export a binary secret keyring for signing stays.

Replaces the stale warning in the provenance guide that told users to convert their modern GnuPG keybox (
pubring.kbx) to the legacypubring.gpgformat. Helm now auto-detects keybox and ASCII-armored public keyrings during verification, so no conversion is required; only the signing side still needs a binary secret keyring. Reflects helm/helm#32281.Trigger Events
