β¨ LIBDNF5-EXPIRED-PGP-KEYS(8) β the expired PGP keys plugin, explained π
okay bestie, so this is a section 8 manual page from the dnf5 project, and it's literally about one little plugin. it's giving "small but important," and honestly? iconic.
πΈ NAME πΈ
libdnf5-expired-pgp-keys β the Expired PGP Keys Plugin π
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
so here's the vibe: this plugin does a lil vibe check on your PGP keys before it runs the transaction. specifically, it looks for installed keys that have already expired π β yes, keys expire, it's a whole thing.
for each expired key it finds, it hits you with the info about that specific key and asks if you wanna confirm its removal. and like, that's actually a good thing, because once the old expired key is gone you can import an updated key later π«Ά. slay.
and here's the cute shortcut: if the assumeyes option is configured, the plugin doesn't ask β it just removes the expired keys automatically. no cap. so heads up, that's a real behavior change depending on your config π.
β¨ CONFIGURATION β¨

/etc/dnf/libdnf5-plugins/expired-pgp-keys.conf
and all the configuration options hang out in the [main] section. periodt.
