If you've read the thread, i'm saying i did not propose a concrete signing solution since i'm still looking into it. Those were some ideas that came with Mr. Andrew's discussion But what's the point?

Zipapp had an aim. This proposal aims at helping zipapp better accompplish it's aim. This proposal explores the next level of zipapps. The enhancements are 2 folds: - Adding meta details - Bundling dependencies But i choose to go even further by attempting to explore security features and exploring the option of cross-platforming. That's why there is much discussion over it I could've played the safe route and just propose adding meta data and bundle dependencies producing Os-specific zips. Nobody has objection to the two above, there are prototypes with the above features which work. Before i forget about the hard questions completely and just propose the safe part, i wanted to push it as far as i can. >
