Package: apt-verify Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: j...@joshtriplett.org Many tools that use .d configuration directories support multiple such directories, to make it easy to separate local sysadmin configuration from distribution configuration. For instance, a hypothetical apt-verify-myplugin package could install /usr/share/apt/verify.d/50myplugin so that it automatically works when installed, and then the sysadmin could change that with /etc/apt/verify.d/50myplugin . One of several advantages of this is that a sysadmin can, themselves, *package* their configuration very easily, without having to divert files or similar.
(Also, in the process of this, you might consider refusing to run if no configuration exists, to avoid effectively disabling verification. If a user really wants to *disable* verification they should use the apt configuration for *that* rather than installing apt-verify as a hook and then giving apt-verify nothing to do.) -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: arm64 Kernel: Linux 6.6.8-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
