Because of the scope of this udpate, the CentOS team was looped in during the embargo stage (we normally are not .. Red Hat Engineering got permission to make this happen for this issue). Normally we see things that are open source only .. not embargoed content. Once the embargo gets lifted, the items become open source. Kudos to the RH team for making this happen. The CentOS team worked with the RHEL team on this update for several days (more than a week, for sure, maybe 2 weeks) I gained MUCH respect for all those guys .. especially Peter Jones. He is Mr.Secure Boot. I personally tested both the c8 and c7 solutions on several machines (All i have access to actually, including several personal machines that have secureboot). I saw some of the testing that happened on the RHEL side. It was extensive. Microsoft, Debian, Ubuntu and others also had issues with this .. so if you are losing trust, you are losing it with all OS vendors WRT this issue. All I can say is .. this issue was the hardest thing I have been involved with since starting with the CentOS Project 17 years ago. Obviously, everyone involved in this build would have prevented this from happening if they could have. Secureboot is complicated. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
