| Summary | 0002241: Allow automatically created records to be unvailable for lookup until accepted by user | ||||
| Description | It might make sense to introduce a GNUNET_NAMESTORE_RF_PENDING flag that indicates that a record is awaiting user confirmation. Example: Automatic name shortening imported a new PKEY record for key k1 the new record PSEU/name->k1 will be created with the GNUNET_NAMESTORE_RF_PENDING flag. This means that until the user confirmed the name it will not be returned on a NS_lookup call. It will however be visible when a zone iteration (with the appropriate flag set) is performed. Thus the user can accept/reject pending records when he administers his zone in the future through either the cli or gtk tool. This is a compromise between automatic (insecure) PKEY imports and no imports at all. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
| I added the flag GNUNET_NAMESTORE_RF_PENDING. Records with that flag will be ignored on lookup by GNS. The UI/CLI part to confirm is still missing. | |
| The UI/CLI parts are trivial to do, the real question is more if we *should* do this. Does forcing users to manually move records from pending to active really help usability? | |
| We no longer automatically create records (shortening is gone). | |
