💖 DNF4-EXPIRED-PGP-KEYS 💖

okay bestie, so this is dnf4-expired-pgp-keys, and it lives in the dnf-plugins-core family (that's the manual name, btw, in case you were wondering which collection of icons we're hanging with). It's a DNF expired-pgp-keys Plugin and honestly? It's giving security guard energy 🛡️✨

✨ NAME ✨

dnf4-expired-pgp-keys — the DNF expired-pgp-keys Plugin, no cap.

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So here's the vibe: this plugin checks for installed but expired PGP keys before executing the transaction. Like, it does a vibe check on your keys first, before anything else happens. 🕵️‍♀️

And for each expired key it finds, the user gets prompted with information about that specific key, and they can confirm its removal — which lowkey slays because it lets you import an updated key later. Out with the old, in with the new, periodt. 💅

And when the assumeyes option is configured, expired keys are removed automatically. No prompting, no asking, it just goes. ⚡

🌸 CONFIGURATION 🌸

The plugin config lives at /etc/dnf/plugins/expired-pgp-keys.conf — that's the whole file, that's where it's at. 📁✨

All the configuration options hang out in the [main] section, iykyk.

  • enabled — Whether the plugin is enabled. Default value is False. (so like, by default she is not enabled, bestie — you gotta turn her on yourself 🙈)
