[Feature request] Sign the `sha256sums.txt` file #17

Closed sidkshatriya closed 11 months ago

sidkshatriya commented 1 year ago

Looking at the live cd download location https://repo.chimera-linux.org/live/latest/ I notice a sha256sums.txt file.

As the live cd is probably the first thing a new chimera user is going to download, it might be a good idea to sign the sha256sums.txt file.

It will increase confidence a bit.

If anybody ever tampered with sha256sums.txt and the live cd files, the signature verification would fail.

Also, a related question, is chimera using apk package / repository metadata signing ?


P.S. I didn't know which project I should have added this feature request. Let me know where I should direct my Chimera project-in-general issues in the future if this was not the correct project. Thanks again for Chimera !
