as follow up to Bug 360459, if PORTAGE_GPG_KEY is not set or has expired, it'd be great to automate the new key generation step. so when this situation occurs, we can initially show the message: Please set up a PORTAGE_GPG_KEY signing key: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=6 for now, i guess we'll want to just warn rather than have it be fatal. as a follow up, we could even automate the gpg step for people. ask them if they want repoman to generate a key for them. this would require some new make.conf settings: PORTAGE_GPG_NAME PORTAGE_GPG_EMAIL PORTAGE_GPG_COMMENT these would be used to populate the different fields requested by gpg for a DSA 2048bit signing key. once gpg has been executed, we show to the user the PORTAGE_GPG_KEY setting that they need.
repoman support has been removed per bug 835013. Please file a new bug (or, I suppose, reopen this one) if you feel this check is still applicable to pkgcheck and doesn't already exist.
