MIGRATE-PUBRING-FROM-CLASSIC-GPG - Online Linux Manual PageSection : 1
Updated : April 2016
NAMEmigrate−pubring−from−classic−gpg − Migrate a public keyring from "classic" to "modern" GnuPG
SYNOPSISmigrate−pubring−from−classic−gpg [ GPGHOMEDIR | −−default ]
DESCRIPTIONmigrate−pubring−from−classic−gpg migrates the public keyring in GnuPG home directory GPGHOMEDIR from the "classic" keyring format (pubring.gpg) to the "modern" keybox format using GnuPG versions 2.1 or 2.2 (pubring.kbx). Specifying −−default selects the standard GnuPG home directory (looking at $GNUPGHOME first, and falling back to ~/.gnupg if unset.
OPTIONS−h, −−help, −−usage Output a short usage information.
DIAGNOSTICSThe program sends quite a bit of text (perhaps too much) to stderr. During a migration, the tool backs up several pieces of data in a timestamped subdirectory of the GPGHOMEDIR.
LIMITATIONSThe keybox format rejects a number of OpenPGP certificates that the "classic" keyring format used to accept. These filters are defensive, since the certificates rejected are unsafe -- either cryptographically unsound, or dangerously non-performant. This means that some migrations may produce warning messages about the migration being incomplete. This is generally a good thing! Known limitations: Flooded certificates Some OpenPGP certificates have been flooded with bogus certifications as part of an attack on the SKS keyserver network (see https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dkg-openpgp-abuse-resistant-keystore-03#section-2.1). The keybox format rejects import of any OpenPGP certificate larger than 5MiB. As of GnuPG 2.2.17, if gpg encounters such a flooded certificate will retry the import while stripping all third-party certifications (see "self-sigs-only" in gpg(1)). The typical error message when migrating a keyring with a flooded certificate will be something like: error writing keyring 'pubring.kbx': Provided object is too large OpenPGPv3 public keys (a.k.a. "PGP-2" keys) Modern OpenPGP implementations use so-called "OpenPGP v4" public keys. Older versions of the public key format have serious known problems. See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4880#section-5.5.2 for more details about and reasons for v3 key deprecation. The keybox format skips v3 keys entirely during migration, and GnuPG will produce a message like: skipped PGP-2 keys: 1
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLESGNUPGHOME Selects the GnuPG home directory when set and --default is given. GPG The name of the gpg executable (defaults to gpg ).
