Deployment Method:

NOTE

This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)


2. Setup Your Environment

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade minisign -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade minisign -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

Description

Minisign is a dead simple tool to sign files and verify signatures.

It is portable, lightweight, and uses the highly secure Ed25519 public-key signature system.

$packageName = 'minisign'
$toolsDir = "$(Split-Path -parent $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition)"

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.

minisign 0.4.0 352 Monday, August 17, 2015 Approved

+Version 0.8.0:

  • Multiple files can now be signed at once.
  • Support for HaikuOS was added.

+Version 0.7.0:

  • The default location of the secret key was changed to ~/.minisign/minisign.key.
  • Generating a new set of keys (-G) doesn't replace an existing key pair any more; the additional -f switch is required in order to force this operation.
  • Improved error messages and Windows compatibility.
  • A man page was added.

+Version 0.6.0:

  • Support for pre-hashing (HashEdDSA) was added.
  • The -H command-line switch, in addition to -S, enables HashEdDSA signatures instead of the default, pure EdDSA signatures.

HashEdDSA signatures:

  • Require very little memory to be generated and verified, even with huge files
  • Are faster to generate and verify than pure EdDSA signatures
  • Require Minisign >= 0.6. In particular, they are not compatible with OpenBSD signify tool.
  • Would not remain secure against (improbable) collisions in the Blake2b-512 hash function.

PureEdDSA signatures (default):

  • Require as much memory as the size of the file to sign
  • Cannot be used with files whose size is over 1 Gb
  • Are compatible with all Minisign versions, as well as OpenBSD signify.
  • Would remain secure against (improbable) collisions in the Blake2b-512 hash function.

+Version 0.5.0:

  • The return code is now 1 on verification/password error, and 2 for system errors.
  • Bug fix: -p and -V could not be used together. It has been fixed.
  • New option: -o, that can be combined with -V in order to send the content of the signed file to stdout after successful verification.

+Version 0.4.0:

  • New switch: -Q, to display only the trusted comment (after verification)

This package has no dependencies.
