- Update from 3.0.3 to 3.0.6
- Communication had with cisofy about the website and github versions of lynis and the
lack of a signature file on github. Following response received from Michael Boelen
of cisofy.
"GitHub releases are different as they (the tarballs) are created by GitHub itself. So
yes, the hashes will differ. In fact, the contents of the files will be different as
well. These files are not signed by GitHub or us. We consider GitHub the work version.
When we release a new version, we tag them on GitHub with a version as well. For the
stable releases, use the version on the website."
- Based on the above the version used in this build is from the website. The signature
file for version 3.0.6 on the website is now available.
- The lynis-3.0.6.tar.gz in the IPFire Source location will probably need to be removed
as it is from the Github location and running ./make.sh uploadsrc will probably not
upload the correct version because the filenames are the same. The tarball used in this
patch was from https://cisofy.com/downloads/lynis/
- The lfs file modified to take account of the tarball expanding to just lynis without
any version number. Also the rm -rf line has been modified due to the file differences
with the previous Github versions.
- Update rootfile to take account of the plugin_pam_phase1 and plugin_systemd_phase1
plugins not being included in the cisofy website version of the tarball. If these two
plugins that are available for community users are needed then they have to be
downloaded separately from cisofy via an email subscription to the notification test.
All other plugins are only available for paying customers.
