Echo can interpret operand as an option and checking every variable to
be echoed is troublesome while with printf, if the format specifier is
present before the operand, printing as string can be enforced.
Passing files to Dom0 is always dangerous:
- Passing a git repository is dangerous as it can have ignored modified
files and signature verification will pass.
- Passing an archive is troublesome for updates.
- Passing an RPM package depends on the RPM verification to be correct,
some times it is not.
- Passing a RPM repository definition is less troublesome for the user,
as it is a small file to verify the contents and update mechanism is
via the package manager. Trust in RPM verification is still required.
Many improvements were made to the build scripts:
- requires-program: Single function to check if program is installed;
- spec-get: Sort project names for the usage message;
- spec-get: Only running commands that are necessary;
- spec-get: Fix empty summary when readme has copyright header;
- spec-gen: Fix grep warning of escaped symbol;
- spec-build: Sign RPM and verify signature;
- spec-build: Only lint the first SPEC for faster runtime;
- yumrepo-gen: Generate a local yum repository with signed metadata;
- qubesbuilder-gen: Generate a .qubesbuilder based on tracked projects;
- release: Build, sign and push all RPMs to repository.
Goal is to be able to build with qubes-builderv2 Qubes Executor.
