Package: apt
Version: 0.3.17
Severity: wishlist
[Note: I am pretty sure I submitted that wishlist bug a while ago. But
it neither shows up in my private archive nor in the BTS, so I assume
it got lost somewhere. Please disregard one of the instances if the other
shows up]
I'd like to see scp as an apt install option. This could be useful at least
in the following setting:
- company sells Debian-based systems with security relevant functions and
also does service for these machines.
- apt is used to update stock Debian and custom deb Packages automatically
at nighttime to the systems "out there".
Using scp as transfer method won't need an extra port opened in the packet
filter since ssh is open anyway for remote administration. Also, the crypto-
graphic host authentification will assure that the package actually comes from
the correct download server _and_ it is verified that the package comes
through untampered with. No need to do MD5 verification after download.
I think that would be _extremely_ handy.
Greetings
Marc

APT 4 has a rsh/ssh method actually.. Ben Collins wrote it.
