Entropy on VM for gpg

[Valentin Gologuzov]

Hi,

I need to generate a lot of gpg keys for package signing in Copr,
and VMs in cloud have low entropy for cryptography, that results
in very-very slow key generation.

I've have solved it with `haveged` daemon, is it proper solution or
i need something else?

Hello,
your solution should be fine. Just as a idea take a look at
https://api.random.org/json-rpc/1/
