Week 5 Report

Hello,

This was my fifth 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. 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 fifth week was 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.

My goal for next week is to:

  • Continue planning on how to implement the new MetaManifest system.
  • Start the first milestone by creating a script that creates a MetaManifest file in a test tree.
  • Finish and bug fix all the previous Gentoo-Keys work.
