That's because someone in the old old past took the shortut of signing compressed payload hashes instead of signing the uncompressed payload. That was an easy mistake to make at the time everything was a gzip file. That’s something which is also killing us hosting side, now that many ”source” archives are generated on-the-fly, and the on-the-fly compression method is not stable over time. Someday the technical debt will reach such levels, the whole package creation and distribution toolchain will have to be audited to hunt down all the steps where we assume the security invariant is the compressed payload instead of the payload itself. -- Nicolas Mailhot _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
