#12368 Redirect FMW download links from getfedora.org to GitHub
Opened by jgrulich. Modified

Close Issue

We no longer have signed binaries of Fedora Media Writer and the latest ones that are signed and published on getfedora.org are outdated. Instead, it would be great if we point to GitHub release page instead. Link to Flathub can be kept.

Release page: https://github.com/FedoraQt/MediaWriter/releases

Wait, what happened to our signing process for FMW builds?

Long story short: The certs we used are expired and the new ones require a completely different (more complex) process to sign binaries. We didn't figure this out yet.

We should be able to reuse pesign infrastructure for this, since it's the same mechanical process. And IIRC the pesign infra now supports HSMs.

We could not find a way to make the windows signing process work for us.
macos was still possible, but even there they were changing a lot of the process.

@humaton spent a long while last year trying to find something that would work and couldn't.

I guess he has more details...
