 A flyer showcasing new features for developers would be great to have too.

Hi all,

Greetings! I have been watching the e-mail traffic for a while now, but have not yet
introduced myself. My first distro of Fedora was Fedora 10. I love Fedora. 

I have a question that might be a stumbling block to those who might be considering
leaving the mainstream OS lot permanently and switching to Fedora:

Does anyone know if Bug 877623 fixed now? This is the issue in which fedup does not verify
online update sources and might be vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. For someone
who is still using their first distro of Fedora and who is looking to upgrade, this bug
could be a show stopper that might drive her/him away from Fedora. 

I read the comments in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=877623 and it looks
like the bug might have been at least partially fixed by a gentleman by the name of Will
Woods. Confirmation of this resolution would be handy in marketing Fedora as secure. If it
is indeed fixed, then the warning on the Fedup page (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedUp)
should be removed as it might alarm people.

I am interested in what the rest of the group has to say about this.

I wish all a pleasant evening/day (depending on your respective time-zones).

clear skies,

So, reading this - it seems that Will is saying that verifying the
server is not needed. The packages are signed - and if they are good, it
doesn't really matter if the server is what it says it is. Make sense?
You care about the packages, not the source of the packages (in this
scenario).

That's how I interpret it - but, at any rate, I think this is something
that should be followed up on devel rather than marketing. 

Best,
