It's depressing how many popular packages getting started guides include piping curl output directly to a shell.

That's the quickest way I lose trust in a package. #InsecureByDesign

@YAb0 many have started using signed scripts though

So comparable security to the packages in a package system

@kramselund - had not seen that. Got any examples handy?
RVM: Ruby Version Manager - RVM Ruby Version Manager - Documentation

@kramselund - So basically "Install GPG and trust our script checks its own integrity"?

I understand how we got here, but truly do not like it.

@YAb0 and hopefully the GPG key is signed by others and live some years at least
