I know that bits from the DPL are mentioned anyway in the DPN, but I think this item in particular deserves more visibility. ----- Forwarded message from Lucas Nussbaum <leader@debian.org> ----- > expiration of debian-multimedia.org > =================================== > debian-multimedia.org was an unofficial, popular repository of Debian > packages. After a discussion last year, the service moved to another domain. > Debian offered to cover costs for the transfer of the debian-multimedia.org > domain to prevent it from expiring and falling into a domain squatter's hands > (or worse). Unfortunately, the debian-multimedia.org maintainer decided not > to cooperate with Debian, and let the domain expire. The domain has now > apparently been registered again by someone unknown to Debian (TTBOMK). > This is a good example of the importance of the use of cryptography to secure > APT repositories (and of the importance of not blindly adding keys).
