future and improve the Kolab community.
Post by Christoph ErhardtHi Enrico,
I think you may be mistaking me for a staff member of Kolab Systems; I'm just
a regular member of the project's open-source community like you are. ;-)
I agree with what you wrote, but I cannot do anything about it (other than
help out in the areas where my progress is not dependent on somebody at Kolab
Systems flicking a switch).
Regarding the workaround for the signing-key issue: fortunately, it's not as
problematic as you think. If you change the repository link to https://, your
package manager validates the server's host certificate and downloads all
packages over an encrypted connection - which should provide roughly the same
level of integrity guarantees. Still, I agree that this issue should be fixed
rather today than tomorrow.
Best regards,
Christoph
Post by Enrico TagliaviniHello Christoph,
if I may throw in a suggestion, without sounding like a troll or
an hater, but rather trying to be constructive: maybe this is a good
time to review the internal priorities. I understand there is one
person only maintaining the infrastructure and I fully understand he
can be busy. Blocking updates of all users for multiple weeks should
be a very high priority task, I know there is a workaround but it
involved disabling the only check guaranteeing the source of the
package. Possibly this person needs some help if he cannot flush his
queue enough to reach the point where he can take care of this task.
Again: this is just not to flame or troll, I support Kolab, and I
appreciate the work from everybody working on it and I want it to be
as successful as possible, that's also why I want such issue not to
happen or to be addressed timely.
Thank you.
Kind regards.
Enrico
