#OpenRC […] has been in a state of bureaucratic decay for a decade now, having all been hoarded by a random corporate contractor about as responsive to the outside universe as OpenOffice (while taking up as much space; they're the entire reason for the farcical metadata/AUTHORS file in the main package repo).

#Gentoo copyright policy (AKA #GLEP76) has been a long time in the making. More specifically, as you can guess from the author list, it has been a long time in fruitless debate, followed by a short period of creative activity. In its original form, it has been unanimously approved both by the Council and the Trustees in September 2018.
https://bugs.gentoo.org/653118
Not a month later, once we've actually started requiring signoffs per the new policy, one of the Council members requested a "transitional period", to give their company's legal team more time to approve it. Like, they've actively influenced the policy, they've actually voted for approving it, but they didn't mean for it to actually apply at the time — and they've never bothered telling anyone about the problem earlier. Fortunately, they've managed to get a quick approval and started using it.
https://bugs.gentoo.org/667602
As a side effect of using it, attribution lines to said company started popping up in random ebuilds that their employees touched (malicious compliance or just corporate bullshit?). This heralded a maintenance nightmare. Two months later, metadata/AUTHORS was proposed as a compromise to stop that.

However, my intuition says that, as a rule of thumb, when you reach the point where you consider introducing a DSL, you should maybe instead reconsider some other parts of the system first. For example, I may just make it easier to introduce your own Python code to perform these complex custom checks, instead of generating it based on a config file 😅.

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsThe latest Django releases were signed by another person, so I needed to update the #Gentoo keyring used to verify them. The keyring is created via fetching the #PGP keys from different sources, and then concatenating them to a single file. However, today I wasn't able to get the new key to work! Or more precisely, to get #GnuPG to correctly import the concatenated keys.
It simply imported 3 out of 4 keys, with no error or whatever. I've scratched my head, tried removing one old key that wasn't used by any of the current releases — then got 2 out of 3. I've tried reordering the keys, but then the other necessary key was ignored. I ran out of time and gave up for the moment.
Now, I've taken another look… and I've found the issue. Turns out that #GitHub, in their magic `.gpg` URLs, is outputting the ASCII-armored #OpenPGP keys without a trailing newline. While this technically isn't broken if the key is imported directly, concatenating it to another key creates a broken file with:
```
-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----------BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
```
and *of course* GnuPG silently ignores the later key instead of reporting a problem.
