| tomreyn | hi! https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA states that "Launchpad generates a unique key for each PPA and uses it to sign any packages built in that PPA.". | 01:12 |
|---|---|---|
| tomreyn | are all Launchpad PPAs signed with 1024-bit RSA keys only? Is this still the default in 2017? | 01:12 |
| tomreyn | Can Launchpad users override the default key parameters? it would be good to initiate a campaign to move away from 1024 RSA-keys. And to set a much better default if this has not happened, yet. | 01:14 |
| tomreyn | On a different topic, https://launchpad.net/projects/+new points to https://staging.launchpad.net, which says "Uh oh! Something has gone wrong." I assume it should actually be pointing to http://qastaging.launchpad.net ? | 01:19 |
| tomreyn | On yet another topic, https://help.launchpad.net/Feedback points to http://identi.ca/launchpadstatus which has seen its latest update in april 2015 - this could be fine, but I suspect it should actually point to https://twitter.com/launchpadstatus ? | 01:32 |
| wgrant | tomreyn: New PPAs have received 4096R keys for some years now, but we haven't migrated old keys from 1024R yet (because migrating existing end-users is challenging) | 01:35 |
| wgrant | staging.launchpad.net is down for a while over the weekend while its database upgrades. | 01:35 |
| wgrant | identi.ca is pretty dead -- we've updated most links to point to Twitter, but apparently forgot that one. | 01:36 |
| * wgrant fixes. | 01:36 | |
| tomreyn | okay, that's a relieve (about RSA key). i checked the PPAs i use on the ubuntu 16.04 i have here and they all got 1024-bit RSA keys | 01:36 |
| tomreyn | i understand that migrating off it would require user interaction. but it still seems very necessary. | 01:37 |
| wgrant | It's something we're likely to look at this year, so we can get it sorted before Ubuntu 18.04 LTS | 01:37 |
| tomreyn | that'd be greta (and very much about time) | 01:38 |
| tomreyn | i also understand that it's not strictly launchpad's job (as a platform or software) to initiate this, but rather that of the PPA maintainers (if they have a choice, not sure they do) | 01:38 |
| wgrant | Yeah, it's a slightly complicated situation. | 01:40 |
| tomreyn | thanks for your feedback and prompt response on this :) | 01:41 |
| wgrant | tomreyn: You can use qastaging in the meantime. staging probably won't be back for about 24h. | 01:42 |
| wgrant | Need to migrate it to its new fast DB servers soon... | 01:42 |
| tomreyn | ahem, i already do ;) | 01:42 |
