Ca fait toujours plaisir ce genre de news. Je n'ai pas testé la version de 2003 x64 proposé bien que pour ma part, j'ai compilé ma version personnelle pour 0.11.312. Il est vrai que sans certificat, c'est un peu lassant les problèmes de certificat apparaissant lors de l'installation.

Hi, for inclusion in Univention Corporate Server - a Linux distribution based on Debian targeted towards enterprise environments, which also includes Xen for virtualisation - we're now building/signing the excellent GPLPV drivers written by James Harper with a Software Publishers Certificate obtained from GlobalSign. [1] This allows installation of the GPLPV drivers on 64 bit Windows without the need to enable the test mode. The drivers are available from http://apt.univention.de/download/addons/gplpv- drivers/ and should be compatible with any Xen installation. The installation is detailed in http://wiki.univention.de/index.php?title=Installing-signed-GPLPV-drivers So far only new installation of the GPLPV drivers have been tested. We welcome general feedback and experiences with upgrades from test-signed versions of GPLPV. Cheers, Moritz Footnotes: [1] We're well aware of the recent claims of a potential compromise of that CA, but as of today this is still under investigation: http://www.globalsign.com/company/press/090611-security-response.html -- Moritz Mühlenhoff muehlenhoff@univention.de Open Source Software Engineer and Consultant Univention GmbH Linux for Your Business fon: +49 421 22 232- 0 Mary-Somerville-Str.1 28359 Bremen fax: +49 421 22 232-99 http://www.univention.de
