Fingerprint check failing for github

[cadeo111]

You can find session logs by date and version information in: ~/.config/org.sparkleshare.SparkleShare/logs/ on Linux and macOS C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\org.sparkleshare.SparkleShare\logs\ on Windows

To help us help you, please include the logs from around the time the issue occurred, as well as the SparkleShare version and info about your OS (displayed at the top of the log files). Then, tell us roughly in these steps what went wrong:

What happened:

I tried to set up sparkleshare with github

What I expected to happen:

I expected sparkleshare to connect to github

This happens when:

I follow the steps on the wiki for setting up github

here are the logs for when it failed:

10:35:18 Fetcher | Failed

for some reason, the fingerprint I get from GitHub is:

b8:d8:95:ce:d9:2c:0a:c0:e1:71:cd:2e:f5:ef:01:ba:34:17:55:4a:4a:64:80:d3:31:cc:c2:be:3d:ed:0f:6b

which is different than the fingerprint saved in the GitHub preset:

9d:38:5b:83:a9:17:52:92:56:1a:5e:c4:d4:81:8e:0a:ca:51:a2:64:f1:74:20:11:2e:f8:8a:c3:a1:39:49:8f

I was able to fix this by building locally after replacing the fingerprint in this file

Has GitHub changed its fingerprint? or is this just a problem with however I have my ssh hosts set up? is there an easier way to fix this without having to rebuild?

Thanks for reporting your issue or feature request, it helps lots!

Has GitHub changed its fingerprint?

Yes, it changed in late March.

Has GitHub changed its fingerprint?

Yes, it changed in late March.

Will this be reflected in an updated Flatpak?

Bitbucket.org also rotated their keys recently. I was able to update the fingerprint to the new one on my Mac using the script in this answer: https://superuser.com/questions/1088165/get-ssh-key-fingerprint-in-old-hex-format-on-new-version-of-openssh/1254573#1254573. One note on the Mac you need to use shasum -a 256 to get the fingerprint. I picked the fingerprint that matched the key in my known_hosts file. Once you get the fingerprint you can edit the file at this location:/Applications/SparkleShare.app/Contents/Resources/Presets/bitbucket.xml (replace bitbucket.xml with github.xml using the key above if that is needed) I did not need to rebuild the app, just restart it to pick up the new key.
