so various projects just disappeared from kernel.org hosting overnight

for example https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/bluetooth is gone, https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/iw is gone, https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/usb is 403

anyone got any idea what happened? this hosts a *lot* of various core distro utils

@q66 And even spread to mirrors like https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/software/network/iw/ so it's not just an old forgotten endpoint.

@lanodan either someone fucked up really badly, or the infra got compromised

@lanodan i made sure to verify the contents of the tarballs we already got against third party sources (git repos etc) and at least that seems to be okay though

@q66 What is the protocol when something like this happens? My partner and I are both nerds/techies and we looked at each other and cussed because were either of us sitting in, we'd have to roll full security review just to make sure no one compromised the core.<br>(listening eyes on) 🪔
