    ben_vulpes: in which i realize that to get code review in tmsr you have to paste it into irc one line at a time
    
    ben_vulpes: the naive o(n^2) calculation is to say "there is a signature for this patch" and not giving a shit about which signature, provided it corresponds to a key in .wot .
    
    ben_vulpes: if it's fine, whatever
    
    ben_vulpes: look i'm pointing at a promisetronic bit of v and saying "hey look i think this is a bit floppy"

    ben_vulpes: i was holding that one in abeyence for lols
    
    ben_vulpes: it costs in complexity, yes. could be argued that it is a very minimal cost, but i would still prefer to "pick any signature from .seals that verifies" instead of the by my read promisetronic "pick any signature whose filename contains the filename of the patch under verification"

    ben_vulpes: i was a bit surprised that sb-ext:run-program did not signal a condition when the program so ran exited with something other than zero.
    
    ben_vulpes: i explicitly tested error code downstream of sb-ext. it's not that it "doesn't pass error codes" it's that error code is surfaced in the process struct that sb-ext:run-program returns
    
    ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: didja read it?
    
    ben_vulpes: the situation's a good example of the tension between writing code that does one thing really specifically well, and fits-in-head, vs a larger program that handles eg conditions and the concomittant complexity
    
    ben_vulpes: so i'm writing some trivial conditions for when it does fail, which means handling eg missing gpg keys
    
    ben_vulpes: sb-ext, and rail at me for using an implementation-dependent sub program library if you will, does not seem to signal error conditions when external programs exit with nonzero code
