Hello all,
|
| 9 |
I do think that it may have been something that should have been |
| 10 |
looked into a bit more when first noticed. However, let me ask a few |
| 11 |
questions,
|
| 12 |
1. In order to inject this you need to get access to a rsync mirror/run |
| 13 |
one ?
|
| 14 |
2. How many times do you sync via someone's rsync mirror running out of |
| 15 |
their house?
|
| 16 |
3. How many times has an rsync mirror been comprimised?
|
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
If it were installed on and of my 500 systems A. my firewall has me |
| 19 |
covered, B. I would more than likely notice.
|
| 20 |
Just the few questions I had pop into my head about this subject.
|
| 21 |
Now mind you I am not trying to be an ass about this but I do see both |
| 22 |
sides to this issue.
|
| 23 |
But as people have said already. signed ebuilds.

Hi, |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
after 1.5 years (2 years after the bug could could found in bugzilla) it |
| 36 |
seems that one of the highest security risks is closed. At least I've |

1.5 years is a long time to figure out how to sign an ebuild. It puzzles |
| 41 |
me that there is such resistence to these security steps, and not just |
| 42 |
in Gentoo. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Maybe in 1.5 years checking signed ebuilds will be the rule instead of |
| 45 |
the exception. :-) |

Thanks for the reminder Alexander. |
