problem downloading linux-staging tree

• Linux general

Hi All,

I tried dowloading the linux staging tree through git clone

and in the next step " ketchup `cat ../staging/version`" downloaded few MB of partial kernel to root/.ketchup and while checking for gpg signature it failed.

I am pasting the same contents below, kindly please help me in resolving this or if any mistakes i have made(please do point out). i am newbie, learning applying patches, this is the nice way to learn stuff getting staging tree.

[root@turtle22 linux-staging]# ketchup `cat ../staging/version`

None -> 2.6.26-rc7

Try preloading the gpg key

At the shell prompt (as root?):

gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 0x517D0F0E

Many times this server (wwwkeys.pgp.net) is down or very slow which will cause scripts to fail. A better scripting practice is to set a flag file once the server finally sends the key (when the return code from gpg is 0) so that this step is not done each time.
