Who builds the installers and how?
I haven't found any public build process for the installers available on FossHub/SourceForge. Who's building them and is there any way to verify that they're actually built from the code from the GitHub repo?
Re: Who builds the installers and how?
To verify, please use the keys, fingerprints and SHA values presented on the main website.

The installer is included in the Github source.

You can only be sure that the installer has not been tampered with (see above). It is often really hard to produce an identical binary. I'd recommend simply compiling your own version using the Github source, using the steps on the link above.

Thanks for the reply!
I always verify the SHA256 value with the installer I’ve downloaded. On that note, how come the SHA256 isn’t on GitHub as well?Peter wrote: ↑Sat Jan 01, 2022 10:04 pm To verify, please use the keys, fingerprints and SHA values presented on the main website.

The final .exe or .dmg? Maybe I misunderstood, but I don’t see it in the .zip here.
That’s true. I was just wondering who builds it for FossHub every release and if that specific build process was public somewhere for anyone to verify that the installers are indeed built from source.
