[SOLVED] unattended package signing?

hello collective mind,
i'm going to build a large number of packages (semi-)automated way.
but as you know, package signing procedure has one interactive step, i.e. gpg key password input.
well, the question is: how can it be done unattended?
any working solutiuons?
thanks in advance.
edit:
solved.
since i have a dedicated key for package signing & nothing else, i've set things up like described here:

[Solved] Using pacman's package signing correctly

When pacman 4 first came out, I just merged the pacnew file so that package signing was disabled. I did initialise the keys etc. but I didn't import or sign the master keys or enable signature checks.
So tonight I figured I would start seeing how this worked. I took the fingerprints from the master key list on archlinux's site and I checked they matched the fingerprints listed on Allan's blog. I then imported the five master keys using pacman-key, signed them locally and used --edit-key to assign each of the five marginal trust.
I then commented out the "Never" line for package signing in pacman.conf so that it would use the compiled in default to make signatures optional but check them if available. I also set PackageRequired for the core repository. I left the other repos I have enabled to default to the default policy as I think signing isn't complete for them.
I then ran pacman -Syu. This mostly went OK but I'm slightly worried about this bit:

I initially thought I was just telling pacman to import the keys but now I'm wondering if I also told it to trust them and if I wasn't meant to do that? Should they have been automatically handled if they were signed correctly? I was trying to follow the instructions on Allan's blog which show this question and Allan answering yes. However, I now realise that I got confused and that that bit comes *before* Allan imports and trusts the master keys, but I'd already done that at this point. (But it didn't complain they were untrusted once imported...)
Could somebody either reassure me that I did this correctly (securely)? Or advise me on how to undo it if that's what I should do?

I followed Allan's guide on page
http://allanmcrae.com/2011/12/pacman-pa … rch-linux/
and pacman -Syu gave:
error: xorg-bdftopcf: signature from "Allan McRae <[email protected]>" is marginal trust
Which is suprising as his key is one of master keys. Currently several master keys were revoked.
Based on GPG's output it is maybe requires some additional input to mark the revoked key as trusted:

Package Sign Error

Hi,
I have noticed the next error:
(1/1) checking package integrity [#############################################################] 100%
error: ddd: signature from "Eric Belanger <[email protected]>" is invalid
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature))
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
This happens with some packages, while others installs/upgrades normally without an error.
It does not depend on the mainteiner, since others packages from the same maintainer installs correctly.
I have reported a bug with one of this packages: "vlc" and the bug was closed as the maintainer told the package was correct.
It also does not depends on the repo, since the problem arises in different repos.
I have also tried to delete the "/etc/pacman.d/gnupg" directory, and follow the instruction to get it again.
I have also tried to change the keyserver in "gpg.conf".
The problem remains.
Is there any way to manually check the signature of the package?
thanks,

[SOLVED] Pacman Key Signing Strange Activity

Hi,
I was just setting up the package verification system with pacman when I noticed it was doing something unusual. When I ran:
pacman-key --init
instead of waiting for entropy, it just returned the prompt. Next, when I ran:
pacman-key --populate archlinux
it seemed to go through the entire signing process itself, stating that they didn't need to be signed again (sorry for the vagueness as I can't fetch exactly what it said by redirecting it into a file or something). The point is, usually I have to confirm each signature.
Is this normal?
Last edited by Mindstormscreator (2012-08-26 15:42:40)

Does the contents of /etc/pacman.d/gnupg look normal? You could compare that directory with the one on the live media (diff -rq) to test that theory.
When I set up package signing, I think I signed five master keys manually which I'd compared from two somewhat independent sources. After that, I don't remember having to *sign* any more signatures but only to confirm it was OK to import them. And now pacman seems to handle much of that automatically... But it is hard to imagine it would be meant to sign the master keys automatically since that would seem to undermine the point of having them in the first place.
On a fresh install, too, the init should take longer because so little is going on. (Hence all the threads here about it hanging because people haven't read the instructions for creating entropy .)

ADT native package signing issue

Hi all,
I'm having a problem signing an executable with adt. I don't wan't a timestamp so I execute following command in command line:
"adt -package -storetype pkcs12 -keystore D:\workspaces\a327-shell\IDA_Certificate.p12 -keypass AIRRules -storepass AIRRules -tsa none -target native -storetype pkcs12 -keystore D:\workspaces\a327-shell\IDA_Certificate.p12 -keypass AIRRules -storepass AIRRules -tsa none shell-0.5-RELEASE.exe shell-app.xml shell-0.5-RELEASE.swf assets"
This returns the following error: "Could not apply timestamp to setup.msi"
This seems to refer to the native signing options part and not the AIR signing options but I have found no way to fix this.
Anyone with ideas on how to fix this, it's pretty critical to the project.
Thx,
David

I think wonder is being "impolite", because that particular blog post is an exact copy of a continuous rant of a (banned now) member here in the forums about package signing. So he (that member) is doing the same thing outside the forums, in a blog. It would be much better from him to have helped, instead of ranting.
He's been spamming Linux-related forums for the last several weeks about this issue, just generally rabble-rousing. From what I've seen, the guy may have done the community a favor, since numerous respondents have basically said "I was gonna try Arch 'cuz a friend of a friend said it was cool, but wasn't aware of this issue or how Arch worked, and now I'm scared and don't think I'll bother." Basically diverting the intellectually lazy away from Arch. He claims to have come up with an easily-implemented solution; however, he also claims the devs have basically blown his brilliant idea off. And he can't be bothered to patch and repackage pacman and sign some packages himself (as an open and observable test-case) despite supposedly having the resources and skills necessary to do so.

Are AUR packages signed? How do I check the signature if they are?

Hi,
Are AUR packages signed? How do I check the signature if they are?
Thank you!

andreicristianpetcu wrote:Thank you for your answers! Some Aur packages basically wget some tar.gz and uncompress it and I wanted to know if there is a way to test if this is the same archive that I wanted to install.
Archives downloaded by PKGBUILDs are never the same as the archive you want to install. Are you referring to PKGBUILDs which just repackage .deb or .rpm archives? As mentioned, there's checksums (typically of zero benefit to security), and sometimes GPG signatures provided by upstream. But, this is only a part of the process. The attack surface is wider than just the source tarball and the PKGBUILD. Consider that you don't even need a PKGBUILD to create a package which pacman understands.
andreicristianpetcu wrote:I told him that this cannot be done on most packages on most GNU/Linux distros.
No, it absolutely can. All operating systems are prone to attack by social engineering and can fall victim to lax system administration. The "Linux doesn't get virii" mantra is a falsehood propagated by people relying on statistics rather than actual operating system features and security practices.
andreicristianpetcu wrote:Since I am a Arch user I wanted to find out if there is a way (except for reading the pkgbuild) from which I can check the validity of the package.
Given an arbitrary archive foo-1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz, there is absolutely no way to determine what PKGBUILD was used to build it. This is a key reason why signing binary packages in the repositories is important!
andreicristianpetcu wrote:From what I know the files from the other repos are signed (correct me if I'm wrong).
Right, in order to assert provenance of a package. If the signature for a package is valid, you can assume that you have a copy of the package which a developer or TU built.

[SOLVED] Can't sign key with pacman-key

I've been reading and digging all over the place but I can't seem to find anything on this.
1. I have created my own keys for signing packages that I want to put in a local repo so I don't have to compile the same package over and over on all my machines.
2. I have imported said key using sudo pacman-key --add rdjack21.pgp
3. Used sudo pacman-key --lsign rdjack21 I get this output:
-> Locally signing key rdjack21...
==> ERROR: rdjack21 could not be locally signed.
4. Ok so lets sudo pacman-key --edit rdjack21 output:
gpg> sign
pub rsa2048/3D1B5544
created: 2014-11-30 expires: never usage: SC
trust: ultimate validity: ultimate

Are you sure that you want to sign this key with your
key "Pacman Keyring Master Key <pacman@localhost>" (645ECB0E)
Really sign? (y/N) y
gpg: signing failed: No pinentry
gpg: signing failed: No pinentry
gpg>
5. To hack this and make pacman work with my local repo signed by the rdjack21 key I had to change the trust to ultimate but I do not like that solution. I would prefer to sign the key and move the trust back down to full which is where it should be.
This is happening on all of my boxes not just one of them. I did find something on the web about "No pinentry" message above and the sugestion was to change the owner of the tty I'm using to be root for the signing to work but that did not work for me (su'ed to root first instead of running everything with sudo).
While changeing the trust works that just feels wrong to me. I really should beable to sign the key.

Taking a clue post gnupg 2.1.0-4 upgrade breaks passphrase via STDIN I was able to solve the problem and I can now sign keys.
The solution is add "pinentry-mode loopback" to /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/gpg.conf
And create the file /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/gpg-agent.conf and put "allow-loopback-pinentry" in the file.
Once that is done everythings works as expected!
Marking this as solved.

[Solved] Install package python-evdev from AUR

I belive this is the correct section to post this but I have a problem installing the package python-evdev where I get the error ( Unsupported package: Potentially dangerous ! )
after trying to install with yaourt and pip install python-evdev results in bash: pip: command not found even after checking that extra/python-setuptools 1:5.2-1 is installed
and extra/python2-setuptools 1:5.2-1 is installed.
I realize there are other modules for hooking x server events but this one I have already written 200 lines of code for and is key to my application working. I was able to install
and utilize this module in ubuntu but cannot seem to get it installed in archlinux. Any guidance would be apreciated.

I asumed pip came with setup tools, so following ids1024's lead I did a pacman -S python-pip which solved the command not found issue. I downloaded and untar'ed the package from AUR and issued a makepkg -s from within the extracted folder. There seems to be an issue with the licence which I can now see has to do with the person who make the package
I did not realize the dynamics of how AUR works because I am new to arch, so I appologize if I bothered anyone.
[Update] I have abondoned the idea of getting pythons evdev module installed as I have located a python3-xlib module which seems to have installed correctly, incidently I was unable to locate a xlib ported to python3 in my other distro, but found it in AUR here so this should work, will have to adapt my code but not the end of the world. Else if (Xlib != WORKING): work directly with /dev/input/eventn using root

[SOLVED] filesystem package: list by label in /etc/crypttab

Reading about Persistent Device Naming, using labels in /etc/fstab rather than UUIDs has some advantages. But /etc/crypttab seems to support only /dev/sdXY and UUID notation. Since flesystem is listed as an Arch Linux package, is there any chance of adding support for naming devices with labels in /etc/crypttab?

falconindy wrote:You cannot identify an encrypted filesystem by LABEL, because the label itself is a property of the unencrypted filesystem. You're asking to solve a chicken/egg problem.
I apologize for misspeaking: I want to identify a partition containing an encrypted filesystem by label in /etc/crypttab. While /dev/disk/sdXY works, /dev/disk/by-label/foo did not work.
falconindy wrote:You can identify an encrypted filesystem by its PARTLABEL (or PARTUUID), assuming you've partitioned your disks with GPT. I added support, implicitly, for this to /etc/crypttab 2 years ago.
Thanks Dave: I am using GPT and although I'm new to PARTLABEL, I'll look into it. Looking at the code you linked, though, I think I probably just want to use the
if (startswith(p, "LABEL="))
branch, rather than
/dev/disk/by-label

Adobe Air Install Package Signed by Revoke Certificate?

My security settings may be a little more strick than most. I just download the adobe air install package today. I think the revoked signature is preventing the installation. Can anyone confirm the signature? Thanks.

No problems with the signature on a new Windows 7 x64 / IE10 install with default settings .

[SOLVED] 'wordgrinder' package build fails

I'm trying to build a package out of this program here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17015
I download the tarball, extract it into my builds directory, enter the wordgrinder directory and enter 'makepkg -s'. I've only done this sort of thing once or twice but it worked then. This time, however, it ends with a build error:

Sadly it says orphaned in AUR so Iguess it might be a while before it's available on Arch...
I adopted it . I'll update it to 0.3 as soon as there is a release. As orphaned packages in AUR are free for anyone to adopt, you could have done this as well.
Cool, thanks Yes, well but ... seeing as today is Day Two of my entire Arch experience, I figured I'd wait a bit before inflicting my workmanship on others. Funny thing is, I found out, I'm already contributing unwittingly: Searching AUR for MPD stuff, I found that somebody had posted a link to some old bash script hacks I've done
