bug#22972: insecure content on: https://gnu.org/software/guix/packages/

IceCat doesn’t “show” me this.  What are you referring to?

Right, project logos come from different places, and not necessarily
https.  I understand that this can be a problem.  However, at least for
now, we don’t copy those logos to www.gnu.org, so it seems there’s not
much we can do.

As you write, this is not meant to be edited, so…  :-)

Yes, definitely.  Dave’s guix-web¹ does that and more.  I think we
should consider running it with actions disabled (i.e., no
installing/removing/upgrading), probably behind nginx to cache things a
bit.

Any takers?

Thanks,
