=== mattgrif_ is now known as mattgriffin [04:08] hmmmmm, did the launchpad ppa urls change? [04:09] e.g. I get 404 on https://ppa.launchpad.net/tiheum/equinox/ubuntu [06:22] hyper_ch: http, not https [06:22] https is for private PPAs. [06:29] wgrant: when did that change? [06:29] I've had it like this as bookmarks for ages [06:30] hyper_ch: Literally never. [06:30] owait [06:30] You're not running something like HTTPS Everywhere, are you? [06:30] I think that's it [06:31] yeah, that's it... seems they change it now to https [06:31] but then, why not use https by default [06:32] HTTP and HTTPS provide different services on ppa.launchpad.net. [06:34] like? [06:34] HTTP is for public PPAs, and HTTPS is for private PPAs. [06:35] but why not make everything https? [06:35] Because that's not how things were done initially, and there's very little reason to change that now. [06:35] PPAs are authenticated by OpenPGP signatures, not HTTPS, so HTTPS provides very little benefit to public PPAs. [06:35] And it prevents proxies from caching them. [06:36] little benefit? [06:36] hmmm, I seem to remember that everybody says that it's important to know who connects to whom/what..... [06:36] so using https would help here [06:36] That's the sole benefit, yes. [06:37] But it doesn't prevent attackers from knowing that you connected to ppa.launchpad.net. Just precisely what you downloaded. [06:37] so that's a good reason [06:37] It is something that may change in the future. [06:37] anyway, thx for clearing this up... I guess I need to make an exception to https [13:45] LP will be offline for a few seconds shortly for a database schema upgrade. [14:53] hello, please take a look at https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/265701 [14:53] (DB upgrade complete) [14:54] ricotz: No need to ping us on IRC, those of us who can do such things are subscribed to answers.lp.net/launchpad so get them by mail [14:54] as it happens that's not one of the things I can do, but I expect William will be around shortly :) [14:55] cjwatson, sorry, I wanted to minimize the delay, since I already uploaded new package and noticed the space got exceeded :\ [14:58] wgrant, thanks! [14:58] Ah, hi. [14:58] Yes, done. === mattgrif_ is now known as mattgriffin
