Here are two updates for GLEP 42, for review. |
2 |
|
3 |
Currently it is required that every news item is accompanied by a |
4 |
detached OpenPGP signature. To my knowledge, verification of these |
5 |
signatures was never implemented. With Git commit signing and after |
6 |
full-tree verification is implemented, these detached signatures will |
7 |
become fully redundant. In addition, we noticed that several of the |
8 |
signatures have a bad format (e.g., are not detached signatures |
9 |
at all). Therefore the first patch drops the requirement for detached |
10 |
OpenPGP signatures. |
11 |
|
12 |
The second patch updates the GLEP from ISO 639 to IETF language codes |
13 |
(BCP 47), in order to make it consistent with usage in the L10N |
14 |
USE_EXPAND variable. This will make no difference for most common |
15 |
languages. Please note that a BCP 47 language tag can in principle |
16 |
be longer than two letters, and can contain characters [A-Za-z0-9-]. |
17 |
(Since there are currently no translations of news items, all this is |
18 |
rather academic, though.) |
19 |
|
20 |
Finally (also in the second patch) a note is added clarifying what |
21 |
"very short" means in a filename context. Technically, the short-name |
22 |
is needed only to distinguish between multiple news items posted at |
23 |
the same day. However, there seems to be a tendency to repeat half |
24 |
of the news item's content in its filename. ;-) |
