Dear openSUSE developers, We have been working on this project for a while and now ready to take it online. Here we need your help. MuktBase is an extensive and free database of Linux and Open Source/Free Software companies, people, projects and products. Muktbase People is a comprehensive directory of people [executives, founders, developers and advocates] from the Linux and Open Source/Free Software. If you are an active member of the open source world, you should be listed here for the benefit of the open source world. If you want to be listed in the Muktbase, please fill the following form. Only qualified people will be listed in Muktbase. http://www.muktware.com/3184/muktbase-people-form Best Swapnil Bhartiya Editor Muktware.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Signing repos
by Administrator 07 Jan '12

07 Jan '12

Hi openSUSE people, I'm not an openSUSE member (I don't do software development any more) but would like to get fixed a serious security flaw: there is no way to check the validity of a repository / build signing key. [You are welcome to correct me if I'm wrong - I'd love to know how to check this] I would suggest that, as a minimum, signing / build keys for main repos associated with openSUSE are signed by a main openSUSE key after (in some fashion) the requester's identity is verified. We can then (individually) decide to trust that signing process (and hence the signatures) or not. There would have to be a clear statement of both the identity verification process and also the full extent of the assurance this signature gives. I would suggest there should also be some kind of quality threshold (e.g. bug fix statistics) as well as a method to revoke the key / signature. Or, does one of the openSUSE security experts have a better simple suggestion? What would I need to do to effect this change? Any advice or comment is very welcome, Yours David Hodgson -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

Is it more convenient or more beautiful to use it? At present, I found no reasons to switch to it. It is far behind GNOME2.X. As a Linux user and a professional design purpose user, I care more about the STABILITY and friendly interface.
