ownCloud 9 is Here
-
the other is from 2010. Again, why did you link it? Are these just misdirection hoping that we wouldn't follow the links?

Here's the cURL bug, yes, related to a NSS issue: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1241172
More misdirection. This isn't a security problem. Yes it has a bug, so? So does ownCloud and they wont even admit it. Red Hat takes this so seriously they are actually working on it. Big difference. They don't pretend that that's okay that there are bugs.
Why is this is a reason to stop using Red Hat's repos and go to rolling out own? That's insane. You can't actually expect us to take this seriously?

YOU say they are bugs. I don't. I believe they are real issues a sysadmin should fix.
Okay, whatever. Clearly I'm taking your platform way too seriously.
Seriously? You didn't read the links? Wow. Good night...
I did. That's CentOS 6 from 2013. It's important why?
Because it shows exactly what I said - these warnings are useful. They were in those cases and by your own account (not trusting LTS releases), they are now. Also note when they were opened and when they were fixed.
What more do you want? That we, real-time, update these warnings based on existing vulnerabilities that aren't disclosed or fixed? That would be awesome, don't get me wrong - but rather ambitious.

As I said - before I take your input as 'bugreports' I need some proof that these warnings are wrong. For now, I have some reason to think it is GOOD to warn of projects no longer supported by upstream: clearly, distributions don't do a good job keeping up with issues in them and clearly, our warnings (no matter how annoying) are helpful.
WTF. You've got your proof. Prove to me they are right! We've shown why they are wrong. You've explained how ownCloud didn't understand the platform so we know why you got them wrong. Now you expect us to do your homework for you? We've been doing that all day.
I realize that ownCloud is open source, but you have paid people whose jobs it is to make this system work, right? But you expect us to do this for free?

Apparently, his security guy does. That is what the link he posted is all about. not trusting the repos.

No, it does nothing of the sort. It shows that someone, a while ago, thought that one warning was useful. Maybe it was. We didn't say that your security team could never get one right, we just said that they got all of these wrong and that you can't trust them (or by extension, ownCloud.)

https://statuscode.ch/2016/02/distribution-packages-considered-insecure/Um, okay. Certainly no point continuing this conversation then. I'll just start building my own operating system that ownCloud doesn't support and running that.
You are just making it so that ownCloud never has to be responsible for anything. We've asked for any way to run a system that ownCloud wouldn't blame us for the decisions and you've made it crystal clear why no such recommendation will ever be forthcoming - this is all setting up excuses so that OC never has to accept responsibility.

How can you POSSIBLE ask this again. I want accurate, truthful errors and bugs fixed. No false errors.
You are constantly arguing that false errors are better than no errors. I'm telling you, that's wrong. But, it's your product. Don't listen to me.

@jospoortvliet said:
If you don't mind, I'll retreat from this conversation. If the three links above is not enough proof that these warnings are useful - nothing will be.
Correct, no amount of unrelated links will ever convince me that fake and inaccurate warnings are useful. Misleading system admins is never a good activity no matter how links that say nothing of the sort are provided.

Read the header. "Security & Setup warnings" -> not exclusive security. This has a bug. Red Hat is working on it, but you get a warning now, because it is there. What is wrong with that?
There is no misdirection here. You are getting upset about us being conservative and giving warnings where we suspect or expect problems. Again, if you are certain that there are no problems here, you can ignore them. They have clearly shown problems in the past.
I get your point about false errors, and clearly as you said - you prefer NO error over a potentially false one. Fair enough, we've chosen to warn if we think there is probably a problem. I guess it's a policy decision we disagree on.
