Week 7 Report

Hello,

This was my seventh 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.

This week my work was to:

  • Added eclass, profile and a master type to the types of MetaManifest files that can be created.
  • Added a GPG signing option to the creation process.
  • Added a way to test the script using a parser.

My plan for next week is to:

  • Add signature verification to the script.
  • Add manifest verification to the script that goes through all repo levels.
  • Continue optimizing the script and prepare for the next milestone of the project.
