gollark: Eventually I could even start signing the manifests so that you could safely download potatOS from *anywhere* and verify that it's the right thing easily.
gollark: So if it detects a new manifest, it can check the hashes of all stored files, redownload the changed ones, and verify them against the manifest.
gollark: Instead of just having potatOS ping pastebin every five minutes to check for new versions of the main code, it will be able to look for a manifest containing SHA256 hashes of all the files and also cryptographic signatures.
gollark: So I'm making a new updates system which will be able to allow "delta updates" and even cryptographic verification.
gollark: See, pastebin did things, so I figured it might be a good idea to start using things like "version control" a bit.
