#384 didn't fix the whole issue it intended to fix, this PR intends to complete it.

Types of changes:

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected). Please ensure that your PR title is a Conventional Commit breaking change (with a !, as in feat!: change foo).

Description of the changes being introduced by the pull request:

The way #384 works is that, to add delegated targets to the localMeta while verifying them (as requested per #384 (comment)), it will fetch target files and verify the whole delegation chain to add delegated targets to the localMeta (as loadLocalMetaFromSnapshot leverages the localMeta). To do so, as the localMeta is empty and can't be leveraged, we pull delegated targets and target files from the remote store.

The problem is that such files can be deleted in the remote store in the mean time, leading to two errors:

  • ErrMissingRemoteMetadata is the delegated targets file was deleted and removed from the snapshot
  • ErrUnknownTarget is a target file was deleted

This PR ignores these errors as they are part of the normal behaviour of the localMeta load algorithm. Note that it doesn't fix #444.

Please verify and check that the pull request fulfills the following requirements:

  • Tests have been added for the bug fix or new feature
  • Docs have been added for the bug fix or new feature

Sorry for the delay, @BaptisteFoy!

LGTM, although I have to say I'm not happy with the rather convoluted delegations code overall in go-tuf (although hopefully go-tuf-metadata will replace it soon).

@rdimitrov WDYT?
