[09:22] <eruditehermit> hi, I was wondering if there is a tool to update a .sources file from a .gpg keyring file
[09:26] <tomreyn> a gpg keyring is not a software, it is a data file. it cannot update apt repository source (deb822) files.
[09:26] <tomreyn> maybe i misunderstood your question?
[09:31] <eruditehermit> tomreyn: previously, apt used somesource.list files in conjunction with gpg keyrings in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ to validate that packages were signed by the the repos. With the new apt in Ubuntu 24.10 these .list and keyrings have been combined into somesource.sources files which combine the apt list file contents with the .gpg file. I am asking if there is a tool that automates this conversion.
[09:42] <tomreyn> eruditehermit: i'm not aware of a supported utility doing so. python3 repolib's "apt-convert-822" *may* be useful there.
[09:48] <tomreyn> also note that keyrings do not *have* to reside in ,sources files with deb822, it can still point to a file in the "Signed-By:" field
[10:14] <eruditehermit_> tomreyn: thanks
[10:15] <eruditehermit_> tomreyn: I can do that manually for now
