Re: [Launchpad-reviewers] [Merge] ~cjwatson/launchpad:stop-ppa-key-propagation into launchpad:master
Review: Needs Fixing Like many other long term users on Launchpad, I need to be able to update my signing key on Launchpad. I have no trouble approving this outright but it would really surprise me if I have the rights to approve this alone. I ask whomever does to serious reconsider this. Launchpad is only as good as its trust anchors. Right now for a lot of long term developers the under-pinnings i.e. a 1024 bit signing key are insecure. If this is being stalled because others care about excessive key generation on keyserver network for PPA keys, why not change the proposed code so this only happens once if the existing signing key associated with the user is an insecure 1024 bit key. This would trigger a single badly needed key update only where it is needed. -- https://code.launchpad.net/~cjwatson/launchpad/+git/launchpad/+merge/392627 Your team Launchpad code reviewers is requested to review the proposed merge of ~cjwatson/launchpad:stop-ppa-key-propagation into launchpad:master. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-reviewers Post to : launchpad-reviewers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-reviewers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/357177 was where the behaviour was implemented, which links to https://lists.launchpad.net/launchpad-users/msg04943.html. There were in the past concerns about keyserver pollution, I believe. PPAs are now often pretty ephemeral, and frequently created and deleted, but all the keys will stay around forever, filling up name-based key search results. It would also reveal the name of private PPAs. I don't think we should change the behaviour until we stop using the main keyserver network for PPA keys. -- https://code.launchpad.net/~cjwatson/launchpad/+git/launchpad/+merge/392627 Your team Launchpad code reviewers is requested to review the proposed merge of ~cjwatson/launchpad:stop-ppa-key-propagation into launchpad:master. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-reviewers Post to : launchpad-reviewers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-reviewers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
