Context: I originally filed that bug because there was no way to verify signatures of some of the images we output (namely the /installer-$arch/ images in the archive); some of these were available on cdimage IIRC, but I think it made sense to have d-i's images signed like everything else in the archive. Since then, the "rootstock" tool was written by Oliver to create armel rootfses and virtual machines running Ubuntu (a virtual machine might be started during rootstock's run) and so needed to download just the vmlinuz file; this is why I revived this bug report a bit as to allow rootstock to pull from a straightforward location rather than the quite indirect path Oliver mentioned.
It's hard for me to judge at what deadline this should be implemented for Oliver to have the time to adapt rootstock, ideally if the signed kernels could be available in the next weeks or month, that would seem nice, but I can't judge of the relative importance of this feature when compared to other ones. -- debian-installer images aren't signed in the archive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/431790 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
