Week 10 Report

Hello,

This was my tenth 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 this week was to:

  • Show the code to the other Gentoo devs for feedback.
  • Continue optimizing and debugging according to feedback.
  • After finishing the debugging of the Meta-Manifest system, generate email reminders for keys nearing expiry.

My work for next week is to:

  • Continue optimizing and debugging the metamanifest script according to Zac’s  feedback.
  • Finish the email generation script.
  • Add metamanifest tests in the portage test section for creating, verifying and possibly signing metamanifest files.
