Hi everyone,

You may be interested by the RFC below.

Rashad added an helpful clarification:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
MS-Windows binaries (MinGW) existing on sourceforge.net are not actaully
affected. I had checked the md5sum of the ones from sourceforge against
those hosted on orfeo-toolbox.org/packages/. Both are same (check today
again).

$ md5sum sfnet-OTB-5.0.0-Windows-MinGW-x86-bin.zip
68ff9dc177f35d9d8fd0e79ed5c5135d  sfnet-OTB-5.0.0-Windows-MinGW-x86-bin.zip
$ md5sum otbsite-OTB-5.0.0-Windows-MinGW-x86-bin.zip
68ff9dc177f35d9d8fd0e79ed5c5135d 
otbsite-OTB-5.0.0-Windows-MinGW-x86-bin.zip

$ md5sum otbsite-OTB-5.0.0-Windows-MinGW-x86_64-bin.zip
bcf7b85fb38694fa9d8eef7575321ed5 
otbsite-OTB-5.0.0-Windows-MinGW-x86_64-bin.zip
$ md5sum sfnet-OTB-5.0.0-Windows-MinGW-x86_64-bin.zip
bcf7b85fb38694fa9d8eef7575321ed5 
sfnet-OTB-5.0.0-Windows-MinGW-x86_64-bin.zip

Sujet :         [otb-developers] [Request for Comments] Move OTB binary
packages from SourceForge to GitHub
Date :  Thu, 17 Sep 2015 15:34:14 +0200

Dear all,

Early August, an OTB user has brought to our attention the following
security alert:

https://github.com/orfeotoolbox/OTB/issues/2

Google had blacklisted our domain because of we were forwarding the
users towards SourceForge to download few binary packages (those for
MS-Windows). The hosting of binary packages by SourceForge is explained
by historic reasons: at the beginning of the project, the team had at
its disposal only mutualized services such SF. The habit stayed. But
today, we have our own servers and we self-host most of the services
required by the project; we no longer need SF.

Therefore, in a hurry (i.e. without consulting the OTB community), we
decided to remove the links towards SourceForge and to host ourselves
the binary packages. This action put an end to the security alert.

It was a workaround. We need now a definitive strategy. Therefore, we
propose to release the binary packages[1] on GitHub through the OTB
official account[2].

Request for Comments:

Any comments welcome.

The sys. admin. team
