pacman-7.0 release planning
by Allan McRae 09 Feb '24

09 Feb '24

Hi all, I have finally had enough time to finish the privsep work. We now download all files using a dedicated user. This is ready to be committed (following any final review) [1]. Note that this currently only separates downloads - more work is needed for (e.g.) package verification to also occur in a separate process. I consider this marking the milestone for the next package release. I have started a tracker for what is needed to be addressed before the release [2]. There are more things that need added to the list... It just represents my bare minimum before release. Realistically, given my upcoming commitments, I think the release will happen close to the end of the year. Cheers, Allan [1] https://gitlab.archlinux.org/pacman/pacman/-/merge_requests/23 [2] https://gitlab.archlinux.org/pacman/pacman/-/milestones/1

[Git][pacman/pacman][master] 4 commits: makepkg: Emit early error if signature verification fails

Allan McRae pushed to branch master at Pacman / Pacman Commits: 3aa096a7 by David Runge at 2024-02-04T10:06:40+01:00 makepkg: Emit early error if signature verification fails Emit an early error message if tag or commit verification with git or detached signature verification with gpg fails. Make `verify_file_signature()` and `verify_git_signature()` return non-zero in this case and set errors to `1`, so that later checks in `check_pgpsigs()`, although still run, can not lead to a positive result. Signed-off-by: David Runge <dvzrv(a)archlinux.org> - - - - - 86ec26b2 by David Runge at 2024-02-04T10:06:42+01:00 makepkg: Improve robustness of signature verification by limiting terms The output of `gpg --quiet --batch --status-fd /dev/stdout --verify <signature_file> <file> 2> /dev/null` or `git verify-commit --raw <commit> 2>&1` may contain binary data, if the signature has been created with an OpenPGP implementation, that e.g. makes use of notations. If the notation string (see `NOTATION_DATA` in /usr/share/doc/gnupg/ DETAILS) contains a trailing binary char, this will break signature verification, as any following entry (e.g. `VALIDSIG`) will be offset. As we are only making use of a narrow set of terms from the statusfile (namely `NEWSIG`, `GOODSIG`, `EXPSIG`, `EXPKEYSIG`, `REVKEYSIG`, `BADSIG`, `ERRSIG`, `VALIDSIG`, `TRUST_UNDEFINED`, `TRUST_NEVER`, `TRUST_MARGINAL`, `TRUST_FULLY`, `TRUST_ULTIMATE`), we are applying a filter, so that only understood terms are written to the file.

This consolidates the freeing of all in-memory resources to _alpm_handle_free, leaving alpm_release as a thin wrapper that provides safety checks and frees any external resources, e.g. removing lock files.

I am not aware of any issues caused by the open file descriptors, but think it better to not leave random open fd's lying around.

[Git][pacman/pacman][master] 2 commits: strip: split off file stripping and debug package creation

Supporting openssh-signing of packages and databases
by Max Gautier 08 Dec '23

08 Dec '23

Would pacman be interested in supporting signature verification of packages (and databases) using the (relatively new) signing protocol introduced and implemented by Openssh [1], alongside GPG signatures ? The intended benefits are be easier packagers setup and workflows (compared to GPG), as well as more out of the box support for signing with FIDO2 tokens (as openssh has sk-* keys to natively support those). The ALLOWED_SIGNERS (documented in man ssh-keygen) file and thus the signing namespace or namespaces would be up to the distribution using pacman (presumably, different distributions should not use the same namespace(s)). If there is interest in this, I'm interested in trying my hands at an implementation; in that case, I'd welcome any advice or things to avoid in doing so.
