Public bug reported: Mainline kernels are provided at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa
This is very convenient, especially if one has the latest hardware for which older kernels often do not have hardware support. However https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa does not work. I do not have a great feeling installing something as crucial as a kernel without trusting the source. Of course one could in theory try to reproduce the build by compiling from source, but in practice this is hardly a viable solutions. Proposed solution: Enable https with a trusted certificate for https://kernel.ubuntu.com ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: https security -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1672455 Title: Mainline Kernel repo does not use https To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1672455/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
