💖 DEBSIGS-INSTALLER 💖

okay so this is debsigs-installer, living in section 1p of the User Contributed Perl Documentation bestie-verse ✨ she's a Perl girlie whose whole personality is signature processing, and honestly? iconic behavior 👑

🌸 NAME 🌸

debsigs-installer — she processes signatures in .deb packages, that's the whole gig 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

debsigs-installer file [file...]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so picture this: debsigs-installer is built to be called in an automated fashion from an installer. she's not here for your casual vibes, she's here for the pipeline 💅

you hand her one or more files on the command line. file [file...], plural, she can hold all of them, she's got range 🫶

for each file, she will:

  • apply the origin signature, and
  • make sure the resulting package verifies — and ngl, it will fail to verify if it's missing one of the other required signatures 😭 that's just the rules

and here's the part that's giving all-or-nothing main character energy: if there's a problem with any .deb, then all of them get left unmodified and an error code comes back. no half-finished nonsense, no messy partial slay 🙈

she can assure this for everything except system call failures — like, y'know, can't copy files, etc. those she cannot promise you about 💀

💖 the contract, in writing: - if success is returned → assume all files succeeded ✨ - if failure is returned → assume all files failed 💔

periodt.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

None.

literally none. not a single flag, bestie. she woke up and chose zero options and honestly? respect 👑

💀 BUGS 💀

okay so real talk, this program isn't finished yet 🚧 she's giving work-in-progress, not-yet-graduated energy.

she uses hard-coded values for:

  • the key ID
  • the key type (go peek at debsigs(1) for that one 👀)
  • the keyring file
  • the temporary directory

so yeah, that's the situation. she's a girl with a plan and some very committed constants 💅
