This isn't exactly pretty, and obviously a better long-term solution is
needed, but I wrote a quick shell script to at least partially addresses
some my biggest fears with guix pull...
Basically, it updates a git checkout, checks the signatures on the
commits, looking for the topmost signed commit by a key in a specific
keyring, and then runs guix pull with that commit.
It relies on a custom gpg directory and assumes any of the keys in the
keyring are valid potential signers of the commits; the web of trust is
essentially ignored.
I really don't like having a custom GNUPGHOME, but I didn't see any
other obvious way to pass arguments to git to use a custom keyring. I
populated this GNUPGHOME with keys from:
https://savannah.gnu.org/project/memberlist-gpgkeys.php?group=guix&download=1
And then ran gpg --refresh-keys on it, as several keys were
outdated/expired.
(an alternative approach to populate the keyring might be:
https://gitlab.com/Efraim/guix-keyring)
It also assumes a git checkout where "git pull" pulls from the correct
repository.
It assumes guix --version returns a valid git hash, so would require
some more tweaks to get it working from a fresh guix install.
All those caveats aside, it seems to work well enough for me, and
writing this email took longer than writing the script. :)
live well,
