Security

When generating a package (or installing) one may optionally choose to remove the file /etc/cron.daily/slack. This file is a cron job which automatically adds GPG keys to the system key ring. This is not for a single key, but potentially many keys as per:

# NB: The original key we used above is the public PackageCloud
# key which we are now moving away from and moving to a key that
# Slack uses solely for Slack packages. However, in order to not
# break updates for people, we need to ship an update where we
# include both keys. In a future update, we'll remove the
# PackageCloud key.
