Philip Withnall: Flatpak repository key rotation
In recent weeks, I’ve been working on adding key rotation support to flatpak, so that repositories which sign their commits and summary files with a key with an expiry date have a way to push updates to that key to all the clients which use them. Currently that’s not possible without each client manually having its config updated to use the new key data (even if the change in key data is just to bump the expiry date).
In the process I’ve learned a few more things about GPG keys, subkeys, signatures, UIDs, etc., which I thought I might dump here in case it’s useful for someone else (or me, in the future). I don’t claim to be an expert, so I may still be misunderstanding some bits. GPG is complex. One thing which has helped ground things is finding the documentation in RFC 4880 (and related) which defines the GPG packet format.
