I don't care for home-brew security, I need something standard.
Also... the firewall at work breaks APT HTTP pipelining. Very very annoying. It would not be able to do so if APT was using HTTPS.
- kiallmacinnes 8y agoThe signature method used by Linux mirrors has existed longer than HTTPS has, there's nothing homebrew about it.
- BetaCygni 8y agoI trust the file signatures, but if you need to write a full article arguing something is secure then it can be made more secure by making the system simpler and more standard.
- pritambaral 8y agoThe apt system is simpler. HTTPS is merely more popular, and breaks existing apt use-cases.
