DEBSIGS-AUTOSIGN(1)

📦 version 0.2.2, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💖 DEBSIGS-AUTOSIGN(1) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for debsigs-autosign — one of those "User Contributed Perl Documentation" situations, and yes she's iconic for it 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

debsigs-autosign [options] sigtype [ ... ]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the vibe: debsigs-autosign reads a newline-delimited list of file names from standard input, and then runs debsigs(1) on each package. the arguments she passes along get determined by the options, operands, and environment of debsigs-autosign itself. no cap, that's the whole flow 💅

and if you wanna know more about the signature types? go read the debsigs(1) manual page, she's the main character for that part 👑

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

  • --archive=keyid — gives a cryptographic key identifier for use with gpg(1), specifically for the archive sig type 🗝️
  • --maint=keyid — same deal, cryptographic key identifier for use with gpg(1), this one for maint ✨
  • --origin=keyid — yep, another cryptographic key identifier for use with gpg(1), for origin 💫
fr fr, those three above are the trio that hand gpg(1) its key identifiers.
  • --secring=file — this one names a secret keyring file for use with gpg(1). like, the actual file, not a key id. important distinction bestie 🔐
  • --verbose — displays verbose output. she will yap (affectionate) 🗣️💬

🧚 OPERANDS 🧚

each operand is a signature type to apply to the Debian package(s) that are gonna be processed.

the signature types currently recognized are:

  • archive
  • maint
  • origin

three little icons, pick your fighter 💅

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

these environment variables are recognized by debsigs-autosign, and honestly? they're giving convenience 👑

  • DEBSIGS_ARCHIVE_ID — specifies a cryptographic key identifier for use with gpg(1) 🗝️
  • DEBSIGS_MAINT_ID — specifies a cryptographic key identifier for use with gpg(1) ✨
  • DEBSIGS_ORIGIN_ID — specifies a cryptographic key identifier for use with gpg(1) 💫
the three above are the env-var twins of the --archive/--maint/--origin options. iykyk.
  • DEBSIGS_SECRING — identifies a secret keyring file for use with gpg(1) 🔐
