Hello,

This was my fourth week in the GSoC for the project Gentoo-GPG. For the first half I will be working on improving and expanding the capabilities of Gentoo-Keys, whose code can be found in this Github repository. My work for the fourth week was to:

• Expand on the function’s capabilities by making it inform the user about which keys have been updated each time the function is used.
• Display a warning message to the user and give him the opportunity to do an update check if a key has been revoked or expired recently.
• Do further bug testing on everything I have done on Gentoo-Keys so far to prepare for the midterm evaluation.
• Make the GPG default config file over-ridable for gkeys-gen during key creation the code of which can be found here
• Fix a bug in the verify function of gkeys, which can be found here.

My plan for next week is to:

• Implement upload key functionality
• Fix the import key function of gkeys
• Bug test and fix my previous work
• Start planning for the development of the meta-manifest system for the 2nd half of GSoC.

Hello,

This was my third week in the GSoC for the project Gentoo-GPG. For the first half I will be working on improving and expanding the capabilities of Gentoo-Keys, whose code can be found in this Github repository. My work for the third week was to:

• Finish developing and bug testing the update check for seeds.
• Add functionality for updating existing keys.
• Expand on the function’s capabilities by making it update the seeds and keys of all available categories if no arguments are given.

My goal for the next week is:

• Expand on the function’s capabilities by making it inform the user about which keys have been updated each time the function is used.
• Display a warning message to the user and give him the opportunity to do an update check if a key has been revoked or expired recently.
• Do further bug testing on everything I have done on Gentoo-Keys so far to prepare for the midterm evaluation.
