Summary
The motivation for this PR is explained in and closes #3946 - the ability to verify initial root checksum when downloading via a URL.
Some notes:
DoInitialize
function still works exactly the same; it's unused here, but may be used from elsewhere (like gitsign).Release Note
Add a new
--root-checksum
flag forcosign-initialize
. This will ensure cosign verifies the checksum of the file provided via the--root
argument before proceeding with initialization. Using this argument will be mandated in the future for initial root obtained from URL.Documentation
I don't think this requires specific callout in docs, but do let me know if you think oterwise.
