This is a tool that Gentoo uses for managing Manifest files and for verifying the integrity and authenticity of the Gentoo ebuild repository. At first for Fedora side, this is useful for some of you like me who work on Gentoo packaging but also, among others, it provides ( https://github.com/mgorny/gemato/blob/master/gemato/openpgp.py) very nice python module for GPG verification. For example, you can import only this GPG module to rely on for all your GPG verifications in other projects. The author of Gemato is very active and security focused especially for GPG stuff.I think it's fine to have tools meant to work on other distributions - we want users who have to manage or work with different distributions to be able to do as much of their work on Fedora, after all.
Good to hear that. Indeed, Fedora is a very practical distribution to work on others.
From a quick search, Debian's dpkg and apt are packaged: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/dpkg https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/apt If the GPG module is usable more broadly, would it be possible to package it as a standalone subpackage (that the main gemato package then requires)? That would allow those who want to use it in other contexts to not have to pull in the irrelevant parts.
Unfortunately, from the current shape it's not possible even if the author would consider it if it starts growing that much.
I've notified him about this and he is very happy about this perspective.Always great when upstream is supportive! Best regards,
In this case, I'll do the packaging and a send a review request soon. Best regards, Frédéric
