Package: elbe-archive-keyring Version: 20230613 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch
Hi! The attached patches cleans up the OpenPGP nomenclature usage, in package documentation and in the keyring filenames, while providing backward compatibility symlinks for the old names so that people can transition easily. Also a NEWS entry to explain all this. This should fix multiple pedantic lintian tags. :D (BTW I didn't find where this keyring originates from, it might be nice to document that in the Homepage, debian/copyright or upstream metadata files.) Thanks, Guillem

Use OpenPGP to refer both to the specification and its artifacts. --- debian/control | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/debian/control b/debian/control index 285c191..594dd5f 100644 --- a/debian/control +++ b/debian/control @@ -12,6 +12,6 @@ Multi-Arch: foreign Depends: ${misc:Depends} Recommends: gpgv Conflicts: elbe-keyring -Description: GnuPG keys of the elbe archive +Description: OpenPGP archive certificates of the elbe archive The elbe project digitally signs its Release files.

From 69e475d43a46404189e81c0fd9367f807d111207 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guillem Jover <[email protected]> Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2026 01:53:52 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Rename keyrings from .gpg to .pgp These keyrings contain OpenPGP certificates, and are not vendor specific, so naming them with an extension after GnuPG in detriment to the other multiple OpenPGP implementations does not promote the interoperability one would expect from that ecosystem. Given that these files are API, and will have external references, we add backwards compatibility symlinks for now, but which should be considered deprecated and should eventually (in the future) be obsoleted and removed. Add a NEWS entry explaining the transition and timeline. --- debian/NEWS | 7 +++++++ debian/install | 2 +- debian/links | 2 ++ ...archive-keyring.gpg => elbe-archive-keyring.pgp} | Bin 4 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 debian/NEWS create mode 100644 debian/links rename keyrings/{elbe-archive-keyring.gpg => elbe-archive-keyring.pgp} (100%) diff --git a/debian/NEWS b/debian/NEWS new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c597b7c --- /dev/null +++ b/debian/NEWS @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +elbe-keyring (20230613) unstable; urgency=medium + + Certificate (keyring) files in /usr/share/keyrings now have the + file extension .pgp, rather than .gpg.
