Subject: new libfsverity release?
Date: Sun, 17 Jan 2021 09:20:32 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cc99418f-4171-4113-9689-afcf46695d95@www.fastmail.com> (raw)

There's been a good amount of changes since the last libfsverity release.  I'm primarily interested in
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiggers/fsverity-utils.git/commit/?id=f76d01b8ce8ce13538bac89afa8acfea9e2bdd57

I have some work in progress to update the ostree fsverity support to use it:
https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/pull/2269

Anything blocking a release?

While I'm here, some feedback on the new library APIs:

- ostree is multi-threaded, and a process global error callback is problematic for that.  I think a GLib-style "GError" type which is really just a pair of error code and string is better.
- Supporting passing the keys via file descriptor or byte array would be nice; or perhaps even better than that we should just expose the openssl types and allow passing pre-parsed key+certificate?
