[15:06] <xivulon> does anyone know how to parse an armoured public key into dsa y/p/q/g longs?
[15:15] <xivulon> ah http://www.pgpdump.net
[15:16] <xivulon> nextq how do I parse an armoured signature? pycrypt takes a list of 2 longs...
[15:18] <xivulon> http://www.pgpdump.net helps but this part I need to replicate in python
[15:39] <persia> Fedora has a python-gpg: it may be something that could be added to Ubuntu (or we may have it under a different name)
[15:40] <xivulon> peria I am trying to cut down the size of wubi in python and in particular avoiding gpg/gpgv binaries and using python modules since I only need signature checking given an hardocded pubkey
[15:40] <xivulon> cdimage key
[15:41] <xivulon> I found I can use pycrypt to do that, but I will need to parse the signature file
[15:42] <xivulon> as for the key I can use pgpdump and hardcode the numbers as opposed to using a keyring
[15:44] <persia> xivulon: This is the point at which I should say "I have no idea about GPG internals, nor am I particularly goof with python" :)  Google tells me there are a few interfaces, but I don't know if they all depend on gpg binaries.
[15:52] <xivulon> pgpdump.exe is 96K which is an improvement over gpg/gpgv but still largish
[15:52] <xivulon> I guess I can live with that for the time being
[20:02] <udit99> I need to run a script as a part of my preseed file, to dynamically change the contents of the preseed. My question is, where do I put the script so that it ends up as part of the CD and is accessible to the preseed file ?
[20:42] <superm1> udit99, ideally you need to do an early command for that i believe
[20:42] <superm1> udit99, and you wouldn't modify the preseed, but likely just toggle some other stuff in debconf
[20:42] <superm1> the preseed is read as one of the very early actions in boot
[20:56] <udit99> so the way i thought it works is that I have an if statement in my preseed file which executes a script and depending on the output, echos 1 of 2 possible cfg files
[20:57] <udit99> so I started with this :
[20:58] <udit99>  d-i preseed/include_command    string
[20:58] <udit99> if [ "true" = "true" ]; then echo option1.cfg;
[20:58] <udit99> else echo option2.cfg; fi
[20:59] <udit99> Turns out, that its not even including the cfg files on the ISO for now... am trying to figure out how to get the files included
[21:38] <udit99> any idea how to get a .cfg file inot the iso as a part of the preseeds ?
