Future of signatures in RPM

Feedback form is now closed.

Limited Capacity seats available

"RPM's ideas about signatures are still from the last century. In this workshop we will collect and discuss ideas and use cases for a more modern approach to package signing. A signature should not just verifying that the package was not modified since the signature was applied.

A signature could indicate that a package
* was build properly
* has passed automatic testing
* passed QA
* belongs to a distribution, release or update
* was tested by the user's QA
* passed staging
* ...

So there are many areas where such signatures could be added or checked and we hope for feedback from all these areas.

Goal of the workshop is to come up with a more clear view on the topic
and being able to design and implement a new frame work for handling
signatures in RPM."
