UbuntuWiki:APTAuthentication

出自Ubuntu中文

The 0.6.x branch of APT contains support for cryptographically authenticating package repositories. Packages for testing are available here:
deb http://people.ubuntulinux.org/~mvo/apt-authentication/ /

The only remaining issue which needs to be dealt with before enabling it by default is to implement a policy for key management:

  • How will keys be provided in a fresh install?
  • How will keys be authenticated?
  • How will new and updated keys be distributed to existing installations?
  • How will key revocations be processed?

Once this has been addressed, apt 0.6.x can be uploaded to Hoary. Once it is in place, the frontends can be modified:

  • synaptic will be modified by MichaelVogt (partly done)
  • aptitude will be modified by MichaelVogt or DanielBurrows
