Discussion

• Post discussion items/issues here
• Ben:
  • Tests are passing for gpg signing
  • you need gnupg2 in the path - ultimately spack should build this for you
  • Working on tests for that, but once that and auto-building gnupg is there, then the API is fixed
  • Working with Patrick on integrating the gpg functionality with the binary packaging functionality (the gpg work should be merged first)
• Patrick:
  • Relocation of packages (e.g. rewriting RPATHs with patchelf) is now synced with develop and refactored to make this easier
