-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hello, I am contacting you as a package maintainer of Parabola GNU/Linux-libre, a fully free operating system in compliance with the Free Software Foundation's GNU FSDG. We also have a focus on privacy and security. We attempt to ensure that all of our packages and upstream are secure. As such I discovered a problem with your package "libtirpc", and . There is currently no hash check or GPG signature to verify that the latest source is actually the one you have created. This is particularly important since there have been recent attacks which replaced files on upstream servers. Take for example the Linux Mint hack earlier this year. (https://micahflee.com/2016/02/backdoored-linux-mint-and-the-perils-of-c hecksums/) I would like to request that you please upload a SHA512 checksum of your libtirpc tar.gz files, as well as sign the SHA512 with a GPG signature. Technical documentation on how to do this: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E36784_01/html/E36870/sha512sum-1.html sha512sum * > SHA512SUMS https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1541303 gpg --clearsign -o SHA512SUMS.sign SHA512SUMS The resulting files, SHA512SUMS and SHA512SUMS.sign, can then be uploaded to your site (or on another site/server for added security), so that package maintainers can verify that the source is accurate and unhacked by a third-party prior to packaging. Thank you for your time and concern. Sincerely, Luke Parabola GNU/Linux-libre Packager -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJYHpJFAAoJEMP0/88+roaXkqQP/244XuxqF5ujfsA3PR0cq4wq 6+08y4lQY0qm0lk5msy5ipC2RHBq8Su6ojiguJvWy3QEt8F8yqEh9u/BFUubu5fh JIAMTr5TOzbTtshfs5lxNFLCyhZMBQ8u2OzTkZ5V6Qj07j3IwcXNXQIssw3RdHRq a7aDOrBzCNlMZbhSbUQvTUJaT0/2HZ1ac9+Z3hczJ4AS1ZWCi2gi4DIqRJtyOwKv R2mIy8RnETyzRuEKPwuI1BEynVLsGic3Inkn9vNnrSOo5+a7aoe8f66Z/bPXiw+B 11tOQDOZ2vf4Cbz73pkuUW++M/TYacT3X954Yeb994u8FPHY7ud3yvc79hyN0u8Z M73IlNMJ2LB+RaONGLC9Fbapbzrf4CWmdyVdiNSTu2AxeiPYD6Ke3pEaJgIz2gtJ 6xE3vJW3xDQrbM1aSOoCg/U7+Tw/R5N/NaY22/zO9G5lIkgsV7nsOUqj+1ifEiGK enZZUB5vadhytQwoQR/jo7qQPM6y1v8HE+VOiAhjVvWV4pnPKrkZ5+Qj55v/XPjJ 108FXQbPLzwOhl1XeJKu+TJ/5IRb2Pt7oYzjkZlqHTlrXuYoyiLNymJfP/tpVnBM 896BFvhuI/dgPkF0rKBZwZ2qM+Rt9vH//hxGRCjoXCYtZD8Rrp1bXilA5EStYnEe zlsI2KcVZMLI+jkFlXrJ =ko8t -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
