fix(make): use proper dependency tracking for the build output

Declare the whole keyring data as well as the code as input dependency
for the build target. This way we can properly depend on the build
target for installation without forcing rebuilding on every invocation.

A rebuild will be triggered if either the keyring or the source code
creating the build output changes.

The directories are added to the source dependencies on purpose to
guarantee that changes like deleted files will result in a rebuild.

The mtime of the build directory is force updated on every run to allow
make to track the output artifacts mtime compared against the
dependencies.

archlinux-keyring

The archlinux-keyring project holds PGP packet material and tooling (keyringctl) to create the distribution keyring for Arch Linux. The keyring is used by pacman to establish the web of trust for the packagers of the distribution.

The PGP packets describing the main signing keys can be found below the keyring/main directory, while those of the packagers are located below the keyring/packager directory.

Requirements

The following packages need to be installed to be able to create a PGP keyring from the provided data structure and to install it:

Build:

make
findutils

Runtime:

python
sequoia-sq

Optional:

hopenpgp-tools (verify)
sq-keyring-linter (verify)
git (ci)

Usage

Build

Build all PGP artifacts (keyring, ownertrust, revoked files) to the build directory

./keyringctl build

Import

Import a new packager key by deriving the username from the filename.

./keyringctl import <username>.asc

Alternatively import a file or directory and override the username

./keyringctl import --name <username> <file_or_directory...>

Updates to existing keys will automatically derive the username from the known fingerprint.

./keyringctl import <file_or_directory...>

Main key imports support the same options plus a mandatory --main

./keyringctl import --main <username>.asc

Export

Export the whole keyring including main and packager to stdout

./keyringctl export

Limit to specific certs using an output file

./keyringctl export <username_or_fingerprint_or_directory...> --output <filename>

List

List all certificates in the keyring

./keyringctl list

Only show a specific main key

./keyringctl list --main <username_or_fingerprint...>

Inspect

Inspect all certificates in the keyring

./keyringctl inspect

Only inspect a specific main key

./keyringctl inspect --main <username_or_fingerprint_or_directory...>

Verify

Verify certificates against modern expectations and assumptions

./keyringctl verify <username_or_fingerprint_or_directory...>

Installation

To install archlinux-keyring system-wide use the included Makefile:

make install

Releases

Releases of archlinux-keyring are created by its current maintainer Christian Hesse. Tags are signed using the PGP key with the ID 02FD1C7A934E614545849F19A6234074498E9CEE.

To verify a tag, first import the relevant PGP key:

gpg --auto-key-locate wkd --search-keys eworm@archlinux.org

Afterwards a tag can be verified from a clone of this repository:

git verify-tag <tag>
