[gentoo-portage-dev] [PATCH] repos.conf: default sync-webrsync-verify-signature

[gentoo-portage-dev] [PATCH] repos.conf: default sync-webrsync-verify-signature

[Zac Medico]

Enable sync-webrsync-verify-signature by default. Use a new
PORTAGE_TEMP_GPG_DIR variable to distinguish indirect emerge-webrsync
calls that use gemato for secure key refresh, and disable direct
emerge-webrsync calls.

Deprecate FEATURES=webrsync-gpg and use it to trigger a
backward-compatibility mode where direct emerge-webrsync calls are
allowed (but trigger a warning message). Since direct emerge-webrsync
calls do not use gemato for secure key refresh, this behavior will
not be supported in a future release.

[gentoo-portage-dev] [PATCH v2] repos.conf: default sync-webrsync-verify-signature

[Zac Medico]

Enable sync-webrsync-verify-signature by default. Use a new
PORTAGE_TEMP_GPG_DIR variable to distinguish indirect emerge-webrsync
calls that use gemato for secure key refresh, and disable direct
emerge-webrsync calls.

Deprecate FEATURES=webrsync-gpg and use it to trigger a
backward-compatibility mode where direct emerge-webrsync calls are
allowed (but trigger a warning message). Since direct emerge-webrsync
calls do not use gemato for secure key refresh, this behavior will
not be supported in a future release.

Bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/689506

[PATCH v2]
* Fix typo in man page date reported by Ulrich Mueller.
* Automatically enable sync-webrsync-verify-signature only
  if gemato is available and sync-openpgp-key-path exists
  (dependencies conditional on USE=rsync-verify).

[gentoo-portage-dev] [PATCH v3] repos.conf: default sync-webrsync-verify-signature

[Zac Medico]

Enable sync-webrsync-verify-signature by default in repos.conf (due to
dependencies the ebuild will make this conditional on USE=rsync-verify
in the same way as the default sync-rsync-verify-metamanifest value).
Use a new PORTAGE_TEMP_GPG_DIR variable to distinguish indirect
emerge-webrsync calls that use gemato for secure key refresh, and
disable direct emerge-webrsync calls.

Deprecate FEATURES=webrsync-gpg and use it to trigger a
backward-compatibility mode where direct emerge-webrsync calls are
allowed (but trigger a warning message). Since direct emerge-webrsync
calls do not use gemato for secure key refresh, this behavior will
not be supported in a future release.

[PATCH v3]
* Set sync-webrsync-verify-signature = yes in the default repos.conf
  (due to dependencies the ebuild will make this conditional on
  USE=rsync-verify in the same way as the default
  sync-rsync-verify-metamanifest value). The man page still says the
  default is false in order to avoid providing a false sense of
  security.
