Summary0001502: Add elrepo signing key news to start page
DescriptionThe current elrepo GPG key turnover in preparation for EL10 is not an automatic process in RPM/Yum/DNF.
People who run `sudo dnf update` will encounter a signing key failure when attempting to update any packages. This has an immediate and current effect.

The fix for users is simple - running `rpm --import https://www.elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-v2-elrepo.org` will import the new key, and updates work as expected.

People who encounter this issue will likely visit elrepo.org first, to find out the new signing key, or look for the above fix.
I only found it by digging into the bug tracker - no idea if it's also mentioned in the FAQ or similar.

I strongly recommend placing that command up on the front page, perhaps under a "News" heading or "Important".

I don't have edit permissions, so I'll send up a diff to `start.txt` as an attachment, and the section by itself under "Additional Information" below, for an editor to pick up.
Feel free to change as needed.

Oop. Included the `sudo` in the command there, bit redundant heh. Feel free to replace that with the `# ` as usual

Thanks for the suggestion to update the Home page. We have added a note using a somewhat concise form.
