Hi Simon, Thanks for following up. I presumed that this was a production issue of some nature, as you had established the pattern of digitally signing the binaries some time ago. Thanks again! Marc > On Mar 14, 2019, at 9:36 AM, Simon Urbanek > wrote: > > Marc, > > thanks, I'm glad

I agree more or less with both of you in this take! I really appreciate Apple effort for keep users safe and this is one the reasons I'm choosing Apple. However, one not always can install signed software and that doesn't mean you are directly at risk. You just have to know what are you

My point of objection was the disabling all checks in a blanket manner. Since this forum is read by many people, not everyone may realize the very harmful implications of that single command. If you know what you're doing, that's fine, but then you also know that you can simply use Open and

Marc, the same is achieved by the hash published by CRAN. Though, of course, if the developers have a developer account, there is nothing wrong with using it and even less with reporting the lack of use of it :-)-O el On 2019-03-14 21:49 , Marc Schwartz via R-SIG-Mac wrote: > Hi, > > I am

Not Really. I have been loading R binaries for almost 10 years from CRAN, if not longer. If the SHA is ok, I don't care about Apple's Nanny mechanism. And, it still warns on the first run, whether you really want to run a program downloaded from the Internet. The correct statement wouldhave

The version from mac.R-project.org installs fine. CRAN master still has the unsigned version (recognizable by an MD5 hash starting with fff) at this point. -pd > On 14 Mar 2019, at 14:36 , Simon Urbanek wrote: > > Marc, > > thanks, I'm glad that at least someone pays attention and checks the

[Resending - screenshot was too big] Actually, the OS does that even if we don't pay attention, so apparently people just haven't gotten around to upgrade and we haven't had new Mac users installing 3.5.3 yet. (To a first approximation, that is - some will of course know how to bypass the

Marc, thanks, I'm glad that at least someone pays attention and checks the signature ;). I'm surprised my machine didn't raise a flag - I did test the image locally from the master URL before releasing. I have now updated the package to be signed, it is identical content, just signed. You can

Hi, I am aware of the workaround, both from the CLI and via System Preferences. The question is more about confirming that the binary is valid and from a source that is trusted, which is the point of digitally signing binaries as a trusted Apple developer. Thanks, Marc > On Mar 14, 2019,

Hi, I just tried to install the R 3.5.3 macOS binary from CRAN. The SHA hash matches what is on CRAN, but I get an unknown developer message when I try to install. I get: pkgutil --check-signature R-3.5.3.pkg Package "R-3.5.3.pkg": Status: no signature I rechecked the 3.5.2 binary and do
