Re: Please upload signed kernel images at the same time as unsigned ones

[Julien Aubin <julien.aubin@gmail.com>]

I agree but in the mid/long term most of the PCs except manually assembled ones are likely to require this crap. This is the implementation of the so-called NGSCB (or Palladium, or whatever) which is supposed to be for user safety, but is actually more bound to DRM sh*t than anything else... So yup it sucks but as of now we do not have much choice.

And this crap has begun : look at some Microsoft Surface computers for example...

I’ve noticed the problem at least once on unstable, where there were
two uploads of the kernel (noticeable in apt-listchanges for the
linux-libc-dev package) with a few days in between, without any
corresponding linux-signed changes; before, the new kernel would just
be available as it did not have an ABI bump.

I don’t know, this signing seems like an antifeature, but…
