e5b2cd8e7564b9fc2ed4f63fe49efb0af60b4460 Use python instead of slow shell script on verify-commits (Chun Kuan Lee) Pull request description: The cron job that runs every day would fail because of git checkout a single commit, not a branch. #12708 introduce a method to check whether merges are clean. However, there are four merges are not clean. So, I add a list of merges that are dirty and ignore them. Also, I modify the current shell script to python, it makes the script speed up a lot. The python code `tree_sha512sum` was copied from `github-merge.py` I've re-designed this. Now we verify all the things by default. - Add `--disable-tree-check` option, not to check SHA-512 tree - Add `--clean-merge NUMBER` option, only verify commits after <NUMBER> days ago Travis running time: |option|time| |-|-| |verify-commits.py|[25m47.02s(1547.02s)](https://travis-ci.org/ken2812221/bitcoin/jobs/373321423)| |verify-commits.py --disable-tree-check|[19m10.08s(1150.08s)](https://travis-ci.org/ken2812221/bitcoin/jobs/373321423)| |verify-commits.py --clean-merge 30|[9m18.18s(558.18s)](https://travis-ci.org/ken2812221/bitcoin/jobs/373321423)| |verify-commits.py --disable-tree-check --clean-merge 30|[1m16.51s(76.51s)](https://travis-ci.org/ken2812221/bitcoin/jobs/373321423)| Since the cron job always fail, I've created a respository to verify this daily.

Tooling for verification of PGP signed commits
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is an incomplete work in progress, but currently includes a pre-push hook
|
|
script (`pre-push-hook.sh`) for maintainers to ensure that their own commits
|
|
are PGP signed (nearly always merge commits), as well as a script to verify
|
|
commits against a trusted keys list.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using verify-commits.py safely
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Remember that you can't use an untrusted script to verify itself. This means
|
|
that checking out code, then running `verify-commits.py` against `HEAD` is
|
|
_not_ safe, because the version of `verify-commits.py` that you just ran could
|
|
be backdoored. Instead, you need to use a trusted version of verify-commits
|
|
prior to checkout to make sure you're checking out only code signed by trusted
|
|
keys:
|
|
|
|
git fetch origin && \
|
|
./contrib/verify-commits/verify-commits.py origin/master && \
|
|
git checkout origin/master
|
|
|
|
Note that the above isn't a good UI/UX yet, and needs significant improvements
|
|
to make it more convenient and reduce the chance of errors; pull-reqs
|
|
improving this process would be much appreciated.
|
|
|
|
Configuration files
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
* `trusted-git-root`: This file should contain a single git commit hash which is the first unsigned git commit (hence it is the "root of trust").
|
|
* `trusted-sha512-root-commit`: This file should contain a single git commit hash which is the first commit without a SHA512 root commitment.
|
|
* `trusted-keys`: This file should contain a \n-delimited list of all PGP fingerprints of authorized commit signers (primary, not subkeys).
|
|
* `allow-revsig-commits`: This file should contain a \n-delimited list of git commit hashes. See next section for more info.
|
|
|
|
Key expiry/revocation
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
When a key (or subkey) which has signed old commits expires or is revoked,
|
|
verify-commits will start failing to verify all commits which were signed by
|
|
said key. In order to avoid bumping the root-of-trust `trusted-git-root`
|
|
file, individual commits which were signed by such a key can be added to the
|
|
`allow-revsig-commits` file. That way, the PGP signatures are still verified
|
|
but no new commits can be signed by any expired/revoked key. To easily build a
|
|
list of commits which need to be added, verify-commits.py can be edited to test
|
|
each commit with BITCOIN_VERIFY_COMMITS_ALLOW_REVSIG set to both 1 and 0, and
|
|
those which need it set to 1 printed.
