So that would mean in order to make kernel modules build to work outside of the kernel build process, we would need a way to add more certs that would be accepted by the kernel and grub, right? I assume you'd want to do the ephemeral cert process for kmod builds too? -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
