cperciva announced that binary packages are coming in the future in the thread that announced the GUI[0]: Speaking of broadening Tarsnap's user base: Binary packages (for both tarsnap and this GUI) will happen at some point -- not that I recommend relying on binaries (since you lose the ability to audit the code), but in keeping with the UNIX/X11 philosophy of "tools, not policy" I want to allow users to decide the tradeoff between paranoia and ease of use for themselves.
