Re: [gentoo-portage-dev] Security and Comparison of Portage with other Package Managers

[Patrick Schleizer <patrick-mailinglists@whonix.org>]

Hi,

it was naive of me to attempt to create such a comparison table. Takes
much more time than I have available for this.

It was to be expected that there are disagreements and I cannot resolve
them without checking the code myself and perhaps without coming up with
proof of concept exploitation code to settle it.

To prevent spreading false information, I took that wiki page offline.

If someone else wants to maintain such a wiki comparison page, I could
still help with hosting, mediawiki markup and such stuff.

Sorry for the noise!

Your answered were appreciated and helpful!

We had somewhat a bad timing. I am sure Vlad in the "Portage and Updater
Security" thread is much more knowledgeable, realistic and dedicated. (I
am not part of the TUF team, just interested in their work.)

Cheers,
Patrick
