Hi Sandro,
it's great to see that this is progressing so quickly.
I've started to add a dependency on keyrings-filesystem to
archlinux-keyring, but there's a problem:
/usr/share/pacman/keyrings/archlinux.gpg is a text file:
% head -n3 /usr/share/pacman/keyrings/archlinux.gpg
-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
mQINBE7VXhABEAC7AB9vHjR4b/lXq/HANeeN2vWQYK3xL2/01nvUPwycjDbCkOg2
...
while /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg is a real gpg2
(binary) keyring.
I could
(a) symlink archlinux.gpg into /usr/share/keyrings/ as is
(b) convert archlinux.gpg to the gpg2 binary format, but that would
probably require duplicating the file, since pacman expects
the text format.
So the question is, what is the purpose/intended user of /usr/share/keyring/*.gpg ?
I'd say the main purpose is to stay consistent with the layout found on
debian systems for their keyrings, so that for instance the how-tos
found on the net also apply to fedora. But if archlinux expects its
keyring in /usr/share/pacman/keyrings/, and references in the net also
point to that directory, then maybe there is little value in placing a
symlink in /usr/share/keyrings, so I'd just leave it as is.
