Hello,

I'm looking for a secure way to download the Valgrind source tarballs,
or to verify their hashes. Right now it looks like the whole Valgrind
web site, including the official downloads, is only available over
HTTP (yet is also available over IPv6). So downloads could be tampered
with in transit, and probably shouldn't be installed on any systems
that need to be secure. (In my case, I'm trying to profile programs on
a system that has access to controlled-access genomics data, which
needs to be protected.)

I've found that I can clone https://sourceware.org/git/valgrind.git
over a secure connection, but I got that URL from the insecure page,
so I'm relying on Sourceware's reputation as a place where malicious
software is not hosted. And I'm not following any of the recommended
install instructions; I had to manually add in the "s" there. *And* I
have to clone the whole git repo when really I just want to install
the current release of the program.

Can the Valgrind website, or at least the tarball downloads, please be
given HTTPS support? Or GPG-signed by someone reputable?

Thanks,
-Adam
