nestacedwards: ? [17:45]
cedwardsnesta: in one of the LUG channels I lurk in someone brought up this article [http://bsdly.blogspot.com/2010/10/if-it-runs-openbsd-it-has-to-be.html] as proof GPG signing is the one true way (tm) [17:47]
nestaahhhh
hehe
thanks

***tinono has joined #arpnetworks [17:53]
tinonocedwards: do you think gpg signing would hurt though? [17:55]
cedwardsI don't think it adds much, particularly in a ports-based environment. [17:56]
jpalmerespecially when an md5 checksum is verified unless deliberately disabled. [17:57]
tinonoI had the privilege of being flamed by Mr Deraadt once, because I asked why some sha256 check was failing
he told me to lower my expectations
[17:57]
finktinono: that's good advice for life [17:58]
tinono"a checksum can fail. it's ok." [17:58]
jpalmer2 people in the community I have little respect for: TDR and RMS. [17:58]
cedwardsI think the probability of someone gaining access to a GPG signing key is much higher than it is of altering both my local ports-tree and the upstream .tar.gz. [17:58]
jpalmerboth fairly intelligent, but both also seem to be of the mindset that we're not intelligent enough to make decisions for ourselves. [17:58]
tinonoI don't think the probability of such an attack is very high. still, it only takes one compromised makefile on the master cvs.
no need to alter any disfile
[18:00]
jpalmerI think more likely, is the source code itself being maliciously edited, that a port tarball. as we've seen in the past. [18:01]
tinonoyes
and once again, in most of those cases, the lack of signing was at fault.
[18:01]
jpalmertinono: using a gpg sig for a port tarball doesn't help, if the projects source code itself is compromised. (think unrealircd a few months back) [18:02]
tinonoof course it doesn't [18:03]
jpalmerthen you're arguing apples and oranges. [18:03]
tinonounrealircd took action, and now they sign releases. [18:03]
cedwardsI'm reminded of when the Red Hat / Fedora build server was compromised and they had to generate a new key. [18:03]
tinonoevery step where tampering can be dangerous, signing can help [18:03]
nestatinono: unreal got drastically owned
they kinda had to to save face
but yeh..
[18:03]
tinonoindeed [18:04]
nestatis good anyway [18:04]
cedwardsin any case. I've argued this with this user a dozen times. He's Debian to the bone, and I prefer the ports system. [18:04]
tinonoso do i. i still think it could welcome some for of signing as an improvement :-p [18:05]
cedwardsI don't know that you get better than having an independent local copy of the md5/sha to verify the upstream .tar.gz [18:07]
tinonothat's the point of signing. you trust that the information contained in the port comes from where it's supposed to come. This information includes the sha/md5 for the distfile, but also the url for the distfile.
not to mention all the bad things a Makefile 'running' as root can do :-)
but ey, I'm not really losing sleep over it. just saying I guess it wouldn't hurt.
[18:12]
jpalmerI remain unconvinced that the extra effort would actually be beneficial. [18:17]
tinonoIt might very well not be warranted. Talk is cheap. Those who have to support all that make the decisions, I'm fine with that :) [18:18]

jdoehrm
anything I should know about updating to 4.7?
[19:05]
azmarcojust run -current =)
and follow src-changes. then upgrading is never really an issue
