Now, you say, you have to trust GitHub? Sure, you do, to achieve this. But threat models: What is more likely compromised: a maintainer/account in your project, or the whole GitHub build infra?

Personally, I was also not quite convinced, given you loose "control" over your build and GitHub could theoretically now inject #malware.

However, as the project itself states, this is not a big deal, if you combine it with the older security feature aka #reproduciblebuilds.

To explain, we have #SLSA signatures that verify the build was done automatically by #GitHub as instructed, *and* we have traditional #gpg signatures with private keys only known to maintainer(s) that verify a maintainer actually triggered the built and locally reproduced it…
Given they both validate, you automatically achieve reproducible builds _and_ #SLSA validity.

One caveat: This was only easy, because our build process is essentially one command (git archive).

Wow, je mehr ich über die ganze #xz Saga lese, desto beeindruckter bin ich, was für ein unglaublicher Zufall es war, dass das so schnell gefunden wurde 😳

boehs.org/node/everything-i-kn ist ein lesenswerter Überblick.

bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrep gibt einen guten Eindruck, wie vor 5-6 Tagen angefangen wurde, Druck aufzubauen, die kompromittierte Version in Debian hochzuladen. Und wie viel Energie da rein gesteckt wurde.
