...s have anything to do with 16.04 being new and | (potentially) "less stable" than 14.04?? Or put another way, would this issue | come up under 14.04? No. User error (with apt-config files) is orthogonal to release quality. And FWIW some people seem to be quite positive on 16.04: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/05/ubuntu-16-04-proves-even-an-lts-release-can-live-at-linuxs-bleeding-edge/ Dirk -- http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | edd at debian.org

I wonder how that will play out with the new US FCC rules causing some manufacturers to disallow installing 3rd party firmware: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/03/tp-link-blocks-open-source-router-firmware-to-comply-with-new-fcc-rule/ Maybe they will just not include samba, or other GPLv3 software?

Hi dovecotters I am trying to install dovecot on a mail server I am provisioning for myself in AWS.

Hi all, Since the vault for 7.3.1611 has been cleared out last sunday (20170207) - why is that? - I'm using git to download a "SRPM", or more accurately, its contents. However, using git has one major drawback: It is missing checksums for the files. Are there any plans to provide checksums for the files in git so I can be sure that what I download is actually not tampered with?

...think it's time to be in panic mode, but it is time to prepare for the generation-after-next of GPUs which will be able to produce SHA-1 collisions quickly enough to be able to keep up with a git repo. Dan Goodin disagrees that it's not a problem for git in the long run. See: https://arstechnica.com/security/2017/02/at-deaths-door-for-years-widely-used-sha1-function-is-now-dead/ (not a bit of hyperbole in that headline, right? ) Maybe it's a bit premature to call it 'dead' but it is definitely in its death rattles.
