gollark: So this may eventually allow stuff like P2P potatoUPDATES™.
gollark: The first one is the actual data, the second one is metadata (currently just the hash of the data section).
gollark: You are wrong. Anyway, the manifests are effectively just two lines of deterministic JSON (i.e. JSON with all keys sorted and no whitespace, so it'll always hash the same way).
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.
