gollark: With the eventual™ cryptographic signing thing, you could even have potatOS updates hosted off even untrusted servers securely.
gollark: That could be done with the new system¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
gollark: I might actually start eventually™ cryptographically signing the updates, wouldn't that be COOL and FUN?
gollark: No, the build system is a mess of shellscripts, a small amount of perl, a node.js program for Lua bundling, and a python script which generates the manifests/hash stuff.
