Subject: [gentoo-dev] [PATCH v4 05/14] glep-0063: Split out the signing subkey into a separate point
Date: Sat, 07 Jul 2018 05:58:56
Message-Id: 20180707055623.28603-6-mgorny@gentoo.org
In Reply to: [gentoo-dev] [PATCH v4 00/14] GLEP 63 update by "Michał Górny"
1 Reword the specification to express the requirement for separate signing
2 subkey more verbosely. Replace the ambiguous term 'dedicated' with
3 clear explanation that it needs to be different from the primary key
4 and not used for other purposes.
