Issue 280: Installer should have digital signature http://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/stable/issue/280/installer-should-have-digital-signature
Adrian Buehlmann / abuehl on Fri, 12 Jun 2009 10:07:53 +0200: Comment: Yeah, would be nice to have. But I thought a self signed certificate should only be used for testing purposes? Unfortunatley, real certificates are quite costly (I once bought some at work, but we stopped doing so due to the cost). It would be really nice if there would be a CA that sponsors and supports open source projects (usually, you have to provide corporate documents as proof -- not really a good fit for peer driven projects). Without a proper certificate, signing probably isn't really worth the trouble. I wouldn't be surprised if Windows would moan on self signed certificates thoroughly anyway (I haven't checked and can't remember what it did back when I tried last time). Peer, do you know how Windows reacts on self signed certs these days? Is it any better than not signing at all? What are other open source projects doing with regards to signing? Can we learn from others :) ? -- This is an issue notification from bitbucket.org.
