I like the idea: I was always uncomfortable with the mixing of
persistent and temporary keys. But it's a bit misguided, because surely
persistent keys don't belong in the build tree at all.
How about we do something like:
# Default to temporary keys
MODKEYPREFIX = ./temp_signing_key
MODSECKEY = $(MODKEYPREFIX).priv
MODPUBKEY = $(MODKEYPREFIX).x509
Then encourage people to do:
make MODKEYPREFIX=...
We could also use a config option to set the path, but that's probably
less convenient.
Cheers,
Rusty.
