lru: in reading that page, I noticed some struggles to avoid the stateful operation of gpg.... since V appears to use a directory of keys, and not gpg's trust database, I'm curious why gpg was still used, and not something like openssl primitives?
Apocalyptic: lru: would you trust the openssl garbage ? afaik gpg is the only semi-sane implementation of crypto stuff
lru: i'm not in a position to say one way or the other... I do know I've read a lot of complaints on trilema and logs about gpg. If gpg is simply the lesser evil, that answers my question.
lru: to say whether it is garbage or not, that is
lru: adlai: was that for me? not sure I understand
adlai: correct, and your question was correct, although your suggestion was correctly question by Apocalyptic, so there aren't a whole lotta other things in need of correction roundabout these parts!
lru: thanks... by "bootstraps", I would hazard to assume for now, that you mean that either gpg is easier to compile than openssl, or gpg is already a part of a trusted toolchain, while openssl isn't.
adlai: apparantly the trusted toolchain was mp-wp/lamp, or something of that nature
