Week 6 Report

Hello,

This was my sixth week in the GSoC for the project Gentoo-GPG. For the second half, I will be developing the new MetaManifest system that will provide an efficient and secure way to verify the integrity of Gentoo distribution.

My work for the sixth week was to:

  • Continue planning on how to implement the new MetaManifest system.
  • Create a test overlay to be used to test all the work I do.
  • Start the first milestone by creating a script that creates a MetaManifest file in a test overlay.
  • Finish and bug fix all the previous Gentoo-Keys work.
My goal for the next week is to:

  • Add GPG signing to the MetaManifest file that the script creates.
  • Make another script that verifies the MetaManifest file and its signature.
  • Optimize and test all the scripts I made and plan for the next milestone of the project.
