Description Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-06-11 14:48:51 UTC
We approach to the state when the whole gentoo-x86 will have signed manifests,
so user will be able to validate it's copy of the tree.

But there is one major piece of unsigned code: eclass/, so an attacker
can put fun code on the mirror affecting a lot of packages this way.

PMS says nothing about it.
