  39 .
  40 The
  41 .B tripe-keys.master
  42 or
  43 .B tripe-keys.conf
  44 file is a simple line-based configuration file read by
  45 .BR tripe-keys (1).
  46 Lines may be empty (consist only of whitespace), be comments (first
  47 non-whitespace character is
  48 .RB ` # ')
  49 or have the form
  50 .IP
  51 .I name
  52 .RB [ = ]
  53 .I value
  54 .PP
  55 A
  56 .I name
  57 consists of alphanumeric characters and hyphens.  Values may contain
  58 substitutions, of the form
  59 .BI ${ name } \fR,
  60 which are replaced by the value assigned to
  61 .IR name .
  62 Many
  63 .IR name s
  64 have significance to the
  65 .B tripe-keys
  66 program: these are described below.  Many have sensible defaults.
  67 .SS "The tripe-keys.master file"
  68 The client configuration file is built by applying substitutions to the
  69 .B tripe-keys.master
  70 file.  The following tokens are substituted:
  71 .TP
  72 .B @MASTER-SEQUENCE@
  73 The sequence number of the most recently-added signing key.
  74 .TP
  75 .B @HK-MASTER@
  76 The fingerprint of the signing key identified by
  77 .BR @MASTER-SEQUENCE@ .
  78 .SS "Master repository parameters"
  79 .TP
  80 .I base-url
  81 The base URL of the key repository (usually with a trailing
  82 .RB ` / ').
  83 Typically, this will be something like
  84 .RB http://www.distorted.org.uk/vpn/ .
  85 No default.
  86 .TP

  93 .BR tripe-keys.sig-<SEQ> .
  94 The
  95 .RB ` <SEQ> '
  96 portion, if any, is replaced by the sequence number of the key which
  97 made the signature.
  98 .TP
  99 .I repos-url
 100 The URL for the key repository tarball.  Default is the concatenation of
 101 .I base-url
 102 and

 106 The URL template for key repository signatures.  Default is the
 107 concatenation of
 108 .I base-url
 109 and
 110 .IR sig-base .
 111 .TP
 112 .I master-sequence
 113 The sequence number of the master authority's current signing key.  No
 114 default.  Usually set up automatically.
 115 .TP
 116 .I master-keygen-flags
 117 Additional options for generating master keys.  Default is
 118 .RB ` -l '.
 119 .TP

 124 pairs separated by spaces.
 125 Default is empty.
 126 .TP

 128 The fingerprint of the current master signing key.  No default.  Usually
 129 set up automatically.
 130 .TP
 131 .I upload-hook
 132 A shell command to run by
 133 .B tripe-keys upload
 134 after it has successfully written the
 135 .I repos-file
 136 and
 137 .IR sig-file s.
 138 Default is
 139 .B ": run upload hook"
 140 which does nothing.
