The mar based updater code is actually quite good. I'm not sure why people
recommend to use something else without having had a look into the code.
The only problems with the mar based updater are infra problems. Otherwise the
code solves many problems that big and complex projects like LibreOffice or
Firefox have. Additionally the Mozilla security team did a quite good analysis
of the problem space and raised many security issues that are fixed. Does
anyone here volunteer to do the same security audit for any other system?
I'm happy to hand over the work on an automated updater if someone wants to
deal with all these boring low level platform details.
