Here are two updates for GLEP 42, for review. Currently it is required that every news item is accompanied by a detached OpenPGP signature. To my knowledge, verification of these signatures was never implemented. With Git commit signing and after full-tree verification is implemented, these detached signatures will become fully redundant. In addition, we noticed that several of the signatures have a bad format (e.g., are not detached signatures at all). Therefore the first patch drops the requirement for detached OpenPGP signatures.
The second patch updates the GLEP from ISO 639 to IETF language codes (BCP 47), in order to make it consistent with usage in the L10N USE_EXPAND variable. This will make no difference for most common languages. Please note that a BCP 47 language tag can in principle be longer than two letters, and can contain characters [A-Za-z0-9-]. (Since there are currently no translations of news items, all this is rather academic, though.) Finally (also in the second patch) a note is added clarifying what "very short" means in a filename context. Technically, the short-name is needed only to distinguish between multiple news items posted at the same day. However, there seems to be a tendency to repeat half of the news item's content in its filename. ;-) Ulrich Müller (2): glep-0042: Drop requirement for detached signatures. glep-0042: Update and clarify naming rules. glep-0042.rst | 29 ++++++++++++++++------------- 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) -- 2.15.0
