 Posted: Sat Jun 30, 2018 12:04 pm Post subject: Afraid to sync after Github hack |
 |
|
Where did the topics about it go?
I posted in a topic in this forum yesterday, where did it go?
If it was moved, why isn't there a placeholder topic telling people that it moved to new place?
I don't like this one bit. Are you trying to suppress comments on the issue?
Still, I haven't synced since 4 days and I don't like that.
Is it safe to sync?
This is a big issue why is it handled so poorly?
As if that's "no big deal, business as usual".
It's not it IS a BIG DEAL.
There was also a thread by some guy posting a bash script to compare repos, in portage and programming forum of this forum, and it's gone too.
What is going on here?

dalu ... threads get merged so that related discussions are in one place, that happens frequently, nothing unusual.

If those comments are speculative overreactions then it's probably best to do that, because the last thing you need in these situations is the blind leading the blind ... but, no, nothing has been "suppressed" ... and I should know, I'm the head honcho in the conspiracy :)

No, it's absolutely not "a big deal", as hacks go its so trivial an issue that it makes any overreaction seem worse than the issue itself.

No, it's not gone, it's here ... but as I explain later in that thread (here, here and here) the comparison of the manifests isn't going to reveal anything (because the manifests were most likely not regenerated).

Nothing ... unless you have evidence to the contrary?
best ... khay |

| No supported sync source was affected. So before you panic, simply check where you sync from, and if you can't make sense of the information on gentoo.org, just ask if you are fine with your setting. |

dalu,
To try to keep all the information and speculation in one place, mods merge threads. When threads are merged there is no 'ghost' moved from post as that would defeat the purpose.
Mods usually lead a merged post to say that things have been merged.
This will soon be yesterdays news. While its hot now, having hundreds of threads doesn't help the usability of the forums now or in the future.
The one thread that I (I don't speak for the forums admin/mods team) would like to keep, is sticky to make it easy to find.
