You're adding another layer of complexity. The front page, documentation, handbooks, etc are not sensitive data. There are two different opinions on this matter throughout the project: * Encrypt all the things * Encrypt what is necessary If FreeBSD is visibly penalized by Google in the future for not hosting on https it might be worth doing. > Same goes for use of svn, which has no native > signable hashed commit graph, as freebsd's > canonical repo... instead of git which does. > svn is available over https > Not to mention the irreproducible builds / pkgs / ISO's. > Nobody is doing this successfully yet. Last I checked Debian is closest. But keep in mind this is not a security feature, it's debugging feature. You still need to solve backdoored compilers ("use this new double compiler method!" OK...) and then you need to solve backdoored hardware. > These days these flaws are more than a bit ridiculous, > especially for an OS, which by definition [excepting > the hardware] should be your root of trust. > > Can we get a wiki project page and some traction on this? > Thanks. > https://wiki.freebsd.org/ReproducibleBuilds -- Mark Felder ports-secteam member feld@FreeBSD.org
