Unofficial IodeOS builds will not be available from the L4M download server for some time

The LineageOS for microG server has had some major security issues (see this issue for more details)

The unofficial builds of IodéOS made by myself for Sony devices (and some others) and by @rik for Pixel devices, are no longer available for download.

As part of dealing with those issues, the project download server has been moved to a new cloud compute instance, with a new (and currently) empty storage volume. The project will shortly be running a complete set of new builds of LineageOS for microG, signed new signing keys. This will take several weeks, during which time the download new server will be populated with the LineageOS for microG builds.

As far as my unofficial builds of IodéOS for Sony devices are concerned, I will not be able to make new builds until the run of LineageOS for microG builds is completed: I use spare capacity on the LineageOS for microG build servers, and there won’t be any spare capacity. In the mean time, there should be no problems with continuing to use the builds you are using at the moment.

I don’t know what @rik’s plans are for his Pixels builds. When he is able to make the builds, we should be able to make them available on the download server as and when they are ready.

With reference to the LineageOS for microG security issues, I would recommend reading the full post about them in the project’s dedicated wiki page.

The key points are summarised in the TL : DR section.

Finally, please note, this from Questions and clarifications section

The project maintainers do not have the ‘bandwidth’ to engage in online discussion about this issue. We will however

Finally, I would like to

  • apologise to users of our unofficial IodeOS builds for any inconvenience this causes you:
  • assure you that - although we cannot guarantee it - we firmly believe that the unofficial IodéOS builds made available on the LineageOS for microG download server have not actually been compromised and are safe to use. If this assurance is not enough for you, we fully understand if you chose to stop using our builds and install a different custom ROM on your devices.

As far as I understand, you are providing these unofficial builds free of charge. Everyone who may be upset about the disruption should remember that.

Thank you for dedicating your spare time for this project!
