Downloads of source code and nightly builds not verified #83

Perhaps due to the nature of nightly builds it is usually more work to verify their integrity and authenticity (say, via a signature by the rust developers). The current situation is sub-optimal and there are a number of things that can be done about this:

  • turn off thin manifests
  • always download over https
  • get upstream to sign rust binaries

Upstream issues:

Ideally, upstream would give each nightly tarball a unique name some way so we could use the name in the src_uri of an ebuild instead of using wget in src_unpack to download them. Since they don't do that, a nightly ebuild is exactly like a live ebuild; if you use them you get what you get. That is why we can't ever keyword nightlys.
