Something that I've been trying to figure out in this whole discussion |
| 7 |
of rapidly expiring keys is what happens to machines that don't have |
| 8 |
at-will access to the public internet: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
... a disconnected machine (like a laptop) who is away from the internet |
| 11 |
for days or weeks at a time, or |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
... a server node that doesn't get its packages from the net at all, but |
| 14 |
rather is part of a production farm which gets its updates from some |
| 15 |
local local mirror/build machine only when the site administrators make |
| 16 |
a new local set of packages available to that server farm. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
What happens in those scenarios? |
