Was there a competent patch submitted about keys and was this discussed in public? I imagine you can't just drop the keys in a random text file, it must be protected like the passwords file.
- renewiltord 6y agoThey're public keys so they can be in plaintext and protected by 0644. They don't really have to be different from apt keys.
- simion314 6y agoYou still need to protect from getting updated by errors or malicious code. For apt you have utilities to edit the keys you don't edit a test file by hand.
- renewiltord 6y agoSure. I only hope to answer "like the passwords file".
- ifmpx 6y agoWould canonical be interested in accepting such a patch?
- simion314 6y agoNo idea, but honestly I would not spend my time on writing such a patch yet , only if I intend to create a great snap store to rival Canonical , otherwise we have enough working alternatives for all use cases that are not about third party binaries that are reviewed by Canonical.
