Sorry if I stuff up; I'm trying for PGP-signed and the PGP is on a different machine... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hello Mark <mark@lochard.com.au> and scmayo@rschp1.anu.edu.au (Sherry Mayo) and cypherpunks@toad.com ...[asking for an auto-update]...
I would be extremely wary of this as accepting code written by someone else to automatically run on your machine is bad. ...
Why? I wouldn't say "bad". I'd say "you need to know what you are doing". ...
If they do not have the expertise, they will hear of it soon enough when others scan the offered code. ...
Perhaps there should be a mechanism whereby code offered would be signed by various parites. When sufficient signatures have collected, auto-update can proceed. Yes, no, maybe? Jiri - -- If you want an answer, please mail to <jirib@cs.monash.edu.au>. On sweeney, I may delete without reading!
