[solved] when to update pacman.conf

cfr · 2012-03-18 01:05:02

I apologise in advance. I'm worried that I've either read the answer to this or asked the question before but, if so, I cannot for the life of me find it.

What is the best way to check the progress on package signing? and, even, database signing? (I assume the latter is not yet implemented.)

Currently, I'm using PackageRequired for multilib and core but not community or extra (and not for AUR).

Is there a sticky, blog or wiki page I can monitor so that I know when to require signing for the remaining packages? And when signatures for the databases themselves are implemented?

Or will this be announced via a pacman -Syu announcement?

It looks like it is just community to go (at least on my boxes):

expac -S '%r %n %g'|awk '$3=="(null)" {print $1 "/" $2}'

I would expect there would be an announcement when the databases are signed as well...

Two more scripts to check the progress of package signing: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=134369

Thanks. I didn't know about expac... expac + grep "(null)" also works nicely though I admit awk is neater. (I just always find awk kind of alien and have never really got to grips with it.)

I've updated pacman.conf to "PackageRequired" for extra. Just a few things in Community to go, I guess. I didn't realise the signing was this far along!
