I just wanted to try out preupgrade to update to Fedora 11, but then I was disappointed that it does not verify securely what it is downloading and installing onto my system. And even worse, this is not even announced by preupgrade. It is so strange, on the one hand all rpm packages are signed and even the algorithms used are updated, but on the other hand the signatures are not used. So please be aware that if you use preupgrade, it will not verify that the installed content came from Fedora.

I just registered for BruCON, because the early bird tickets are only available for two more days. Will you come, too? It would be nice to meet some Fedorians there, but I guess I would have more luck at some generic FOSS conference.
