I think you'd get far more traffic if you linked to a page that actually has information (https://code.headmelted.com/ https://code.headmelted.com/) instead of to the list of builds!
In any case, this is awesome and I'll definitely give it a try
- sctb 8y agoThanks, we've updated the link from https://github.com/headmelted/codebuilds/releases https://github.com/headmelted/codebuilds/releases.
- headmelted 8y agoThanks for this, wasn't sure which was best to use.
- pjc50 8y agoAh, I see we're still doing "run the output of this url as root" installation..
- g105b 8y agoThat's how all executable code is distributed outside of a package manager. Ever downloaded an EXE on Windows or DMG on Mac? It's the same, except you can inspect the code doing it this way if you were worried.
- smacktoward 8y agoGood thing nothing bad ever happened because someone ran an EXE they downloaded off a Web site...
- pjc50 8y agoWindows will complain if you download and try to run an unsigned exe. While APT packages can be signed, wget|sh can't be, so it's comparatively easier for someone to trojan the website and distribute malware.
