Debian sign distribution service

What does this MR do?

A service to return a detached or inline signature of a text, signed from a distribution key.

Item 7.3 of &6057 (comment 582697034).

Context : there are 3 relevant endpoints:

  • Release: plain (unsigned)
  • Release.gpg: detached signature
  • InRelease: inline signed

InRelease is the most used endpoint, the two others are for very old clients. However, according to the specs, Still having a unsigned Release file and MD5Sum is currently highly recommended.

See also !66470 (merged), which adds the signed_file column.
