Re: gpg, Releae.gpg, and Ubuntu...
hmm, well, I thought I had this licked, but I guess I was wrong. tried this:
made a new ubuntu-keyring thusly:
apt-get source ubuntu-keyring
cd ubuntu-keyring/keyrings
gpg --import < ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg
gpg --export > ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg
cd .. && dpkg-buildpackge ---rfakeroot -m"Matt Price <matt.price@utoronto.ca>"
then I did all the necessary changes to the disk (add packages to
pool, mostly) after which I have the following in a script
# generate Packages, release, releases.gz
sudo rm $BUILD/dists/breezy/Release.gpg $BUILD/dists/breezy/Release
+$BUILD/dists/breezy/main/binary-i386/Packages
+$BUILD/dists/breezy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz
apt-ftparchive packages $BUILD/pool/restricted/ > /tmp/Packages
apt-ftparchive release $BUILD/dists/breezy > /tmp/Release
sudo mv /tmp/Packages $BUILD/dists/breezy/main/binary-i386/
sudo mv /tmp/Release $BUILD/dists/breezy/
gpg --output /tmp/Release.gpg -ba $BUILD/dists/breezy/Release
sudo mv /tmp/Release.gpg $BUILD/dists/breezy/
looked fine to me, but I get an error about a bad release file, so I a
ssume it's not properly signed. gaah! driving me crazy. Anyway,
thanks for the help, if anyone's done this successfully I'd be very
grateful to learn what I'm doing wrong
