Well, we probably should try! ;-)  But OK fair enough, let's keep it as is
for now.  This came up a few times on the list IIRC around the nb-javac
install, although that was also to do with the self-signed certificate I
think?

Alongside signing do we have support for checking checksums in the update
process?  This might also be useful in future if third-party modules need
to be hosted elsewhere?

I'll just put in a PR to change the link path for now then, and we can look
at https later.

Best wishes,

Neil
