Bug 462362 – Repoman does not honors the PORTAGE_GPG_DIR when it signs the commit for git

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Agostino Sarubbo 2013-03-19 19:43:38 UTC]

I have not the gpg key in the default path (.gnupg) so when I try to sign the commit into my overlay, repoman fails to sign the commit (not the manifest).
The error is:

gpg: skipped "7194459F": No secret key
gpg: signing failed: No secret key
error: gpg failed to sign the data
fatal: failed to write commit object
!!! Exiting on git (shell) error code: 128


Now If I try to sign the commit manually with gpg commit -S I get:
gpg: skipped "7194459F": No secret key
gpg: signing failed: No secret key
error: gpg failed to sign the data
fatal: failed to write commit object


but with this alias I have no problem:
[alias]
        commitsign = !GNUPGHOME="/media/dati/gnupg/" git commit -S $*

So I guess portage does not honour the PORTAGE_GPG_DIR when it signs the commit.

This should fix it:

This is fixed in 2.1.11.56 and 2.2.0_alpha167.
