Subject: [gentoo-dev] [PATCH 0/2] Two updates for GLEP 42
Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2017 10:09:59
Message-Id: cover.1511775662.git.ulm@gentoo.org
1 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. ;-)

26 Ulrich Müller (2):
27 glep-0042: Drop requirement for detached signatures.
28 glep-0042: Update and clarify naming rules.
