Nice to hear you made progess with CherryTree.

I think changing the installer software for the next release is too much work 
and too few time for testing.
So, I guess we need to postpone it anyway.

How does it work in detail?
We would send the installer binary to SignPath, they extract it (provided it is 
.msi), sign the included binaries, repack it and sign the installer as well?

If so, we had to fully trust SignPath to not add or modify anything in the 
installer, not now and not in the future.

Maybe it's just me but we had bad experiences with SourceForge in the past when 
they added advertising and (I think) spyware to installers. In that case, they 
should only host the files and not modify them in any way, though they did.

I wonder if it's worth the risk and how aggressive Microsoft really will be 
regarding code signing enforcement.

If I got it right, having our binaries properly signed still would not be 
enough for Microsoft's plans if the MSYS2 binaries won't be signed as well?

I'm also interested what the others think, @b4n @techee?
