have cygwin setup.exe signed and/or in the MS store

[Philippe Cerfon]

Hey there.

I know you provide OpenPGP signatures for verification (which is good,
and should be kept), but would it perhaps make sense to have setup.exe
signed (in the sense of: by some MS trusted certificate) and/or in the
MS store (though I guess that might not be possible with their
policy)?

Regards,
Philippe.

I assume nothing came out of the SFC member thingy discussed back then
in that thread?

Perhaps this would be an item for the FAQ ;-)

Hey there.

Now that sourceware seems to be under he SFC umbrella, I assume Cygwin
is so as well?

If so, could it perhaps be reconsidered, whether funding (from SFC)
can be found for buying some signing certs for setup.exe?

Regards,
Philippe.
