Quick Overview – All in one page

Maintenance

The "For Now Page" has replaced the "main page" at the moment – see there for the reasons. This "overview page" is the probably most accurate source of information about MirOS. Don't forget that all content of the website is copyrighted.

Status

MirOS #10 is the latest release. The BitTorrent tracker contains it. The latest snapshot of the current development version (i386) is newer. MirPorts infrastructure and new installer (docs) are stable and working on Darwin, MidnightBSD, MirOS, and OpenBSD. Interix does not work. We expect a small percentage of individual ports to be broken or (more) out of date due to lack of manpower.

Cryptographical Information

gzsig(1)

gzsig(1) is the current tool of choice for cryptographically signing work available from the MirOS Project. These are the keys used:

sshd(8) host keys

These are the ssh_known_hosts keys for our servers:

X.509

We are using X.509 certificates emitted by CAcert on our machines. While there is no known way to "bootstrap" trusting an external CA, for these who are still using PGP, tg@ has put a clearsigned copy of the CAcert.org Root Certificate on private webspace. Note that this is only a kind of timestamping, and we do not accept any responsibility or endorse their service or certificate. Neither has any of us (yet) checked their authenticity in person.

gzsig can also make use of X.509 certificates (which are just public keys and signatures of the CA for that key) to verify signed files, so you can make use of the CA trust chain.

PGP (deprecated, obsolete)

We used to have RFC1991 compatible PGP keys with which releases and snapshots were signed. These are the keys used (most recent first):

Note that tg@ does not use PGP at all any more if possible.
