Description Robert P. J. Day 2021-08-31 09:31:08 UTC
The links in this section:

https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev-manual/common-tasks.html#making-images-more-secure

are seriously out of date, and it seems like there should be an entire section (perhaps even a separate doc?) devoted to security issues.
Comment 1 Michael Opdenacker 2022-09-21 13:51:48 UTC
Totally agree. I'll try to set aside some time to work on this topic. This will take a substantial amount of research time though.

Postponed to 4.2 M1
Comment 2 Randy MacLeod 2024-10-24 15:04:00 UTC
Bulk move of 5.1 M4 to 5.2 M2 as approved by AlexB.
Comment 3 Antonin Godard 2025-06-06 07:42:31 UTC
Bulk move of bugs I am assigned to from Milestone 5.2M4 to 5.3M1.

The original link is dead :/, but I assume Robert was talking about https://docs.yoctoproject.org/4.1/dev-manual/common-tasks.html#making-images-more-secure.

I've sent a patch to remove these links (which is part of a series to move the security related docs to its own manual):
