Week 3 Report

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  • Display a warning message to the user and give him the opportunity to do an update check if a key has been revoked or expired recently.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.
