This issue is closed as it was filed against (what is now known as) the legacy codebase: issue seems to not be relevant anymore. Please re-open or file a new issue if you feel that the issue is revelant to current python-tuf.
Current source code (and upcoming 1.0 release) only contains the modern components
- a low-level Metadata API (
tuf.api) and tuf.ngclientthat implements the client workflow,
Legacy components (tuf.client, tuf.repository_tool, tuf.repository_lib as well as the repo and client scripts) are no longer included. See announcement for more information and API reference for details about the current API.
