- kadoban 2y agoYou prefer that they wrap it in an .msi file and put it on that same website? What do you think the advantages of that are?
- d0mine 2y agowhat is the more secure way in you opinion? What is the weak link here? TLS transport? possibly compromised hosting/codebase? trust in app authors? not reading the shell script? checking a signature of some file?
- micw 2y agoMy issue is the bypassing of the systems package manager. Doing so will result on files spread somewhere over the system. How do you uninstall such thing properly? How do you update (or even know) it's dependencies? Will it break because I uninstall or update one of it's dependencies? Linux has a very good package management for many years. I see absolute no reason to break this by creating shell installers.

- guappa 2y agoI mean they even named the website cargo, after cargo culting! (jk)
