[gentoo-dev] [PATCH v2 03/11] glep-0063: Clarify dedicated signing subkey in minimal reqs
Reword the minimal requirements to clearly indicate that a dedicated signing subkey is required. The current wording may make it unclear whether the 'root key' and 'signing subkey' can be the same key. --- glep-0063.rst | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/glep-0063.rst b/glep-0063.rst index 8e4f0d5..0082edd 100644 --- a/glep-0063.rst +++ b/glep-0063.rst @@ -45,7 +45,7 @@ Bare minimum requirements personal-digest-preferences SHA256 -2.

We really want to make clear that we require a separate subkey, and that subkey is not marked for encryption. -- Best regards, Michał Górny signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

We really want to make clear that we > require a separate subkey, and that subkey is not marked for encryption. > I'd suggest something along the lines of 'subkey with signing only capabilitiyies' or 'signing only subkey'. I state this because you are able to have a combined SE subkey which would match the language of dedicated or simply only saying 'signing subkey'. -- Matthew Thode (prometheanfire) signature.asc Description: PGP signature
