Package: apt
Version: 0.6.46.2
Severity: wishlist

The apt-key update functionality is very useful but it might be nice if
the ARCHIVE_KEYRING and REMOVED_KEYS files wheren't hardcoded in the
script: it might be handy for other people/organizations at some point
to distribute different ARCHIVE_KEYRING and REMOVED_KEYS files and to
make apt-key update from those... Can those values just be the default,
with the possibility to override them on the command line or through the
environment?

Thanks!

Guido

apt version 0.7.25.1 release on Sat, 09 Jan 2010 21:52:36 +0100 supports the
fragment directory /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ where others can drop a keyring file
into. 'apt-key update' is subsequently deprecated.

So that is supposed to be the better 'replacement' for what you asked for and I
am therefore closing this bug now after … 5 … years of testing. ;)

Distributions rebuilding apt can btw also change the keyring the binary apt
package depends on quite easily with the vendor system introduced some time ago.


Best regards
