I'm not against that idea (and can see it being useful in some cases[1]), but this would need some authentication. Otherwise it would be a "$bigbrother/nsa/anyone controling your network can run everything on your computer" style hole. The original JSON files don't have this problem because they didn't contain any code. -Andi [1] especially to work around the broken perf setup on d./u. distros. _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
