* Package name : stateless-openpgp-docs Version : 13.0 Upstream Author : Daniel Kahn Gillmor <d...@fifthhorseman.net> * URL or Web page : https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-dkg-openpgp-stateless-cli/ * License : CC0-1.0 Programming lang: English Description : Documentation for the Stateless OpenPGP interface Provide manual pages and some example testing scripts that should apply for any implementation of the Stateless OpenPGP interface. sopv is the verification-only subset of the Stateless OpenPGP interface, and we have at least four implementations in debian already (gosop, sqop/sqopv, sopv-gpgv, and rsop/rsopv), which use /etc/alternatives to point to `sopv` in the $PATH. (pgpainless-cli might become a fifth when an updated version is packaged) In https://bugs.debian.org/1093053 and https://bugs.debian.org/1093054, Guillem observed that it's not straightforward to just "man sopv" for someone who wants to verify OpenPGP signatures with this setup. In the subsequent discussion on #1093053, we hit on some complications for the obvious route of linking to the various implementation manpages, so i think it's better to ship manpages for the shape of the generic interface separately from any of the implementations. This package will ship generic sopv manpages (applicable to any sopv implementation). It will also ship some example scripts that exercise any sopv interface. This should be useful for test suites for the various sopv interfaces, to make sure that they continue to interoperate as the rest of the OpenPGP infrastructure evolves.
