"AM" 7.7
Suspicious applications? Report them!
The installation process will take into account installation scripts belonging to applications that have little transparency in how they were built, therefore coming from repositories or websites that only publish the app and not the source code.
Each installation script of this type will have, on line 2, this "flag": # spooky
installation scripts with this branding will be intercepted at installation time.
Anyone among you who is aware of applications of dubious transparency can do a Pull Request by adding the flag above, as shown in the screenshot.
A message will appear to let you choose to install them or not (default "N").
This is the message that will appear:
And that's the only big change for this release!
Wait...
What? Do you notice anything different?
Yes, I added color to the installation process. I hope you like it:
