Bug 30549: Add script to remove expired and revoked sub-keys from a keyring file
The tools/keyring/drop-expired-sub-keys script can be used to drop all expired and revoked sub-keys from a keyring.
We also add the script tools/keyring/list-all-keyrings which can be used to list all the keys included in all the keyring files, to make it easier to review if any key needs to be removed. --- tools/keyring/README | 29 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tools/keyring/drop-expired-sub-keys | 22 ++++++++++++++++++++++ tools/keyring/list-all-keyrings | 10 ++++++++++ 3 files changed, 61 insertions(+)
