 |
|
Hi,
sorry, just want to make sure I understand this correctly: https://www.gentoo.org/news/2019/07/03/sks-key-poisoning.html
As far as I understand this I've got nothing to worry about and can just emerge --sync, correct?
This is my /etc/portage/repos.conf: | Code: | [DEFAULT]
main-repo = gentoo
sync-allow-hardlinks = yes
[gentoo]
location = /usr/portage
#sync-type = webrsync
sync-type = rsync
sync-uri = rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage
sync-webrsync-verify-signature = true
auto-sync = yes
sync-rsync-verify-jobs = 1
sync-rsync-verify-metamanifest = yes
sync-rsync-verify-max-age = 24
sync-openpgp-key-path = /usr/share/openpgp-keys/gentoo-release.asc
sync-openpgp-key-refresh-retry-count = 40
sync-openpgp-key-refresh-retry-overall-timeout = 1200
sync-openpgp-key-refresh-retry-delay-exp-base = 2
sync-openpgp-key-refresh-retry-delay-max = 60
sync-openpgp-key-refresh-retry-delay-mult = 4
# for daily squashfs snapshots
#sync-type = squashdelta
#sync-uri = mirror://gentoo/../snapshots/squashfs |
But then there is that part at the end:
| https://www.gentoo.org/news/2019/07/03/sks-key-poisoning.html wrote: | The webrsync and delta-webrsync methods also support gemato, although it is not used by default at the moment. In order to use it, you need to remove PORTAGE_GPG_DIR from /etc/portage/make.conf (if it present) and put the following values into /etc/portage/repos.conf: | Code: | [gentoo]
sync-type = webrsync
sync-webrsync-delta = true # false to use plain webrsync
sync-webrsync-verify-signature = true |
Afterwards, calling emerge --sync or emaint sync --repo gentoo will use gemato key management rather than the vulnerable legacy method. The default is going to be changed in a future release of Portage. |
Should I do that now or should I just wait for the next portage version or emerge-webrsync or what?
Sorry, usually I have no problem understanding news like that but that article just confuses me...
Thanks in advance.

xanderal,
Its safe to do it now and it prevents you from picking up a poisoned key if Gentoo distro keys were attacked.

Ok, got to be real nooby here and ask for clarification: What is "it"?
emerge --sync?
emerge-webrsync?
change of repos.conf and then emerge --sync? |

xanderal,
It changes how Gentoo keys are delivered to you.
Make the configuration change, then nothing.
Next time you use either webrsync or delta-webrsync, it will use the gemato distributed keys.
If you use neither webrsync or delta-webrsync, there is noting you need do.

Ok, just in case anyone else wants to know:
Just synced with 'emerge --sync' without changing the config, everything worked well, update afterwards, too.
So, thanks NeddySeagoon again  |

I'm getting the following output from emerge --sync | Code: | gpg: Good signature from "Gentoo Portage Snapshot Signing Key (Automated Signing Key)" [unknown]
gpg: aka "Gentoo ebuild repository signing key (Automated Signing Key) <infrastructure@gentoo.org>" [unknown]
gpg: WARNING: Using untrusted key! |
Should I be concerned? |
