This requires an ugly amount of reworking of how pacman-key handles options. The change simply to avoid passing keys, files, and directories as arguments to options, but to leave them as arguments to the overall program. This is reasonable since pacman-key limits the user to essentially one operation per invocation (like pacman). Since we now pass around the positional parameters to the various operations, we can add some better sanity checking. Each operation is responsible for testing input and making sure it can operate properly, otherwise it throws an error and exits. The doc is updated to reflect this, and uses similar verbiage as pacman, describing the non-option arguments now passed to pacman-key as targets. Similar to the doc, --help is reorganized to separate operations and options and remove argument tokens from operations. Signed-off-by: Dave Reisner <dreisner@archlinux.org>

pacman-key - manage pacman's list of trusted keys

Synopsis
|
|
--------
|
|
'pacman-key' [options] operation [targets]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
'pacman-key' is a wrapper script for GnuPG used to manage pacman's keyring, which
|
|
is the collection of PGP keys used to check signed packages and databases. It
|
|
provides the ability to import and export keys, fetch keys from keyservers and
|
|
update the key trust database.
|
|
|
|
More complex keyring management can be achieved using GnuPG directly combined with
|
|
the '\--homedir' option pointing at the pacman keyring (located in
|
|
+{sysconfdir}/pacman.d/gnupg+ by default).
|
|
|
|
Invoking pacman-key consists of supplying an operation with any potential
|
|
options and targets to operate on. Depending on the operation, a 'target' may
|
|
be a valid key identifier, filename, or directory.
|
|
|
|
Operations
|
|
----------
|
|
*-a, \--add*::
|
|
Add the key(s) contained in the specified file or files to pacman's
|
|
keyring. If a key already exists, update it.
|
|
|
|
*-d, \--delete*::
|
|
Remove the key(s) identified by the specified keyid(s) from pacman's
|
|
keyring.
|
|
|
|
*-e, \--export*::
|
|
Export key(s) identified by the specified keyid(s) to 'stdout'. If no keyid
|
|
is specified, all keys will be exported.
|
|
|
|
*\--edit-key*::
|
|
Present a menu for key management task on the specified keyid(s). Useful
|
|
for adjusting a keys trust level.
|
|
|
|
*-f, \--finger*::
|
|
List a fingerprint for each specified keyid, or for all known keys if no
|
|
keyids are specified.
|
|
|
|
*-h, \--help*::
|
|
Output syntax and command line options.
|
|
|
|
*\--import*::
|
|
Imports keys from `pubring.gpg` into the public keyring from the specified
|
|
directories.
|
|
|
|
*\--import-trustdb*::
|
|
Imports ownertrust values from `trustdb.gpg` into the shared trust database
|
|
from the specified directories.
|
|
|
|
*\--init*::
|
|
Ensure the keyring is properly initialized and has the required access
|
|
permissions.
|
|
|
|
*-l, \--list-keys*::
|
|
Lists all or specified keys from the public keyring.
|
|
|
|
*\--list-sigs*::
|
|
Same as '\--list-keys', but the signatures are listed too.
|
|
|
|
*\--lsign-key*::
|
|
Locally sign the given key. This is primarily used to root the web of trust
|
|
in the local private key generated by '\--init'.
|
|
|
|
*-r, \--recv-keys*::
|
|
Equivalent to '\--recv-keys' in GnuPG.
|
|
|
|
*\--refresh-keys*::
|
|
Equivalent to '\--refresh-keys' in GnuPG.
|
|
|
|
*\--populate*::
|
|
Reload the default keys from the (optionally provided) keyrings in
|
|
+{pkgdatadir}/keyrings+. For more information, see
|
|
<<SC,Providing a Keyring for Import>> below.
|
|
|
|
*-u, \--updatedb*::
|
|
Equivalent to '\--check-trustdb' in GnuPG. This operation can be specified with
|
|
other operations.
|
|
|
|
*-V, \--version*::
|
|
Displays the program version.
|
|
|
|
*-v, \--verify*::
|
|
Verify the given signature file.
|
|
|
|
Options
|
|
-------
|
|
*\--config* <file>::
|
|
Use an alternate config file instead of the +{sysconfdir}/pacman.conf+
|
|
default.
|
|
|
|
*\--gpgdir* <dir>::
|
|
Set an alternate home directory for GnuPG. If unspecified, the value is
|
|
read from +{sysconfdir}/pacman.conf+.
|
|
|
|
*\--keyserver* <keyserver>::
|
|
Use the specified keyserver if the operation requires one. This will take
|
|
precedence over any keyserver option specified in a `gpg.conf`
|
|
configuration file. Running '\--init' with this option will set the default
|
|
keyserver if one was not already configured.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Providing a Keyring for Import
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
A distribution or other repository provided may want to provide a set of
|
|
PGP keys used in the signing of its packages and repository databases that can
|
|
be readily imported into the pacman keyring. This is achieved by providing a
|
|
PGP keyring file `foo.gpg` that contains the keys for the foo keyring in the
|
|
directory +{pkgdatadir}/keyrings+.
|
|
|
|
Optionally, the file `foo-trusted` can be provided containing a list of trusted
|
|
key IDs for that keyring. This is a file in a format compatible with 'gpg
|
|
\--export-ownertrust' output. This file will inform the user which keys a user
|
|
needs to verify and sign to build a local web of trust, in addition to
|
|
assigning provided owner trust values.
|
|
|
|
Also optionally, the file `foo-revoked` can be provided containing a list of
|
|
revoked key IDs for that keyring. Revoked is defined as "no longer valid for
|
|
any signing", so should be used with prudence. A key being marked as revoked
|
|
will be disabled in the keyring and no longer treated as valid, so this always
|
|
takes priority over it's trusted state in any other keyring.
