Exactly. This is a good answer to a similar question I've read recently.
HTTPS downloads in general provide two things: confidentiality of data
transfer, and integrity of
data transfer.
For purposes of integrity, HTTPS apt repositories provide no benefit. Apt
release files are already PGP s
As we all know, HTTP transfers in plain text, while HTTPS uses encryption.
So, I install 'apt-transport-https' and change all instances of
'http://archive.trisquel.info/trisquel/ foo main' into
'https://archive.trisquel.info/trisquel/ foo main' but it is not working.
Does Trisquel repositor
"Does Trisquel repositories supports HTTPS"
Probably not but this is not a problem because of the use of Secure APT,
which came out over a decade ago, in which the repository is
cryptographically signed and so remains secure even over HTTP.
