I have to agree with intrigeri on this. It's been ages since anyone has tried to write something that a regular human can even consider using to get this kind of "just tell me what i need to fix" tool, so i was really happy to see Clint Adams (cc'ed here) step up and produce hopenpgp-tools to do this. Anyone interested in making a more user-friendly front-end to the data provided by hokey --lint would also make me very happy. Maybe a simple python3 + gtk3 application to start, followed up by clickable buttons to take any suggested corrective action. I suspect that Clint could be convinced to provide a more machine-parseable format (json?) of hokey --lint output, if that would make such a user-friendly frontend easier to write. --dkg [disclaimer: i've contributed in small ways to both hopenpgp-tools and to the OpenPGP best practices cited above, so i might be biased, but i really haven't seen anything better in the wild] _______________________________________________ Tails-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to [email protected].
