Pre-compiled and statically linked such that they can just be run on most Linux systems. We don't want to force the user to install cabal and ghc just to use `fffuu` (since we need quite recent versions of them; only pretty old versions of them are shipped with most stable branches of Linux distributions).\r\n\r\nAbout trust: Paranoid user can build from source. A user who accepts binaries in general probably doesn't want to run an arbitrary binary (which is hosted in the cloud). Let's assume a user trusts our github page. Then we can add the sha256sum of the binary to our github. Github uses https, so the sha256 is transmitted *somewhat* securely. \r\n\r\nQ: How can we always get the latest build (of master) to the github homepage? Automatically?\r\nQ: How can we get the sha256 sum of the binary to github. In particular, if we will build somewhere in the cloud?"}}
