Hi everyone, I am sending this mail to the development list of the distributions CentOS, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu. I am working for ProfitBricks and we provide public images in our cloud for these distributions.
Currently I know no way to retrieve the release information about new/updated ISO and disk images in a machine parsable and secure way. Instead I have to visit the websites and collect the information manually. My idea is to create a (simple) image release information specification and let every distribution provide one release file which accessible via https or gpg signed. I created an initial draft of the spec: https://github.com/bdrung/image-release-spec Your thoughts? Does it make sense? Is the information already provided somewhere else? -- Benjamin Drung System Developer Debian & Ubuntu Developer ProfitBricks GmbH Greifswalder Str. 207 D - 10405 Berlin Email: benjamin.dr...@profitbricks.com Web: https://www.profitbricks.com Sitz der Gesellschaft: Berlin.
