-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 So, I've generated a new GPG keypair. It has a set of subkeys (one per usage), which, theoretically, should make it all more convenient and secure. Also it uses currently-recommended algorithms (4096-bit key RSA and SHA512) and was generated using my new hardware entropy source which was the main reason for this change. The old key will be expired in a couple months unless I revoke it as superseded first. There is no reason to believe it was compromised or anything. New key's fingerprint is F819 3F12 6021 6B7D D53B 959F E273 25A3 92D7 0FFB for copying and pasting: 0xF8193F1260216B7DD53B959FE27325A392D70FFB ), long key id is 0xE27325A392D70FFB. Please import my new public key from the keyserver you prefer or using PKA dns records. You can use this command on most platforms: gpg --search-keys 0xE27325A392D70FFB (Unfortunately, GnuPG or/and keyservers don't really support search by fingerprint or showing it in the import dialog so make sure to --list-keys later to verify it). I'd appreciate if you signed this new key for the web of trust (revokable with check level 2 sounds appropriate since you didn't verify my government-issued photo ID prior to signing :) unless you happen to know me personally and can, for example, call me and verify my voice while I'm reading the fingerprint). Obviously, verifying signature on this message, old key's signature on the new one, and checking PKA dns record is highly recommended before performing any further steps. Feel free to contact me if you have any doubts. What this all means to you personally? Probably nothing if you have never sent me any encrypted messages or received signed ones. Otherwise you probably already know what to do with this information. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iF4EAREKAAYFAlhuTdYACgkQ0rP4P63gxstL1AD7BsNMR78Nz4tVp2UroTQps+Oj 8+2baCd2BPX/sYD7ItMA/2KiJJM1dCVgxJOhF/7NjGYwFJ/+G73xUjPexph/elHT =7VqE -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
Sorry, it's not a complete instruction, just a thought. It occurred to me (some time ago) that Python's virtualenv is, essentially, a simplified version of system "prefix", it has bin, lib, include, and can have more stuff when needed. If you're willing to experiment (you'll probably have to set a few additional environment variables and/or build flags but that's no big deal), you can install various other tools there up until you have a complete system with its own compiler and complete set of libraries although it's much simpler to keep using system compiler and libraries only complimenting them when needed. Granted, prefixes are nothing new, people were using /opt (and their home directory) this way since the beginning of time. But with little help of virtualenv-wrapper or pyenv you can easily switch between them and isolate environments better. Binaries and stuff installed in virtualenv would override system defaults but only when venv is activat
