Updating the keyrings from this HKP +server is "pulling" HKP changes. + +There's a script call pull-updates that takes a keyring and a keyring +dir, explodes the keyring and looks for keys that have changed, then +calls update-key for each of them. This is a bit of a labour intensive +task, but it does mean we don't automatically allow things like adding +a new UID that's complete nonsense. I have some local patches to make +it a bit easier in terms of automatically generating an update.log +which is the same format as in the changelog of what was altered; I'll +commit them at some point soon. + +So, to import the HKP updates: + +$ scp kaufmann.debian.org:/srv/keyring.debian.org/keyrings-new/debian-{keyring,nonupload,maintainers}.gpg . +debian-keyring.gpg 100% 30MB 2.5MB/s 00:12 +debian-maintainers.gpg 100% 1058KB 529.1KB/s 00:02 +debian-maintainers.gpg 100% 48KB 59.6KB/s 00:00 +$ ./scripts/pull-updates debian-keyring.gpg debian-keyring-gpg/ +(...a long list of keys later...) +Updated keys are: +0x8351C3C268AC5746 0xE5273D986BE3C423 0xED1A3933B2CFCDD8 +gpg: keyring `/tmp/jetring.qGSB7NPt/secring.gpg' created +gpg: keyring `/tmp/jetring.qGSB7NPt/pubring.gpg' created +gpg: /tmp/jetring.qGSB7NPt/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created +Running gpg-diff: +0x8351C3C268AC5746 Robert Alan Larson <blarson> +Are you sure you want to update this key?
