Chatroom Highlights:

[22:43:30] FWIW, my 2c: I think a “moderated” feed (where you just trust the core chocolatey team to review packages, instead of trusting all the authors) is the answer to “trust” – the idea being the core team says that yes, this module just downloads and installs “the real product” that it claims to.

Have you heard rumors that chocolatey may move away from nuget?

Are you involved in the chocolatey community at all?

Are you (un)happy/neutral that Chocolatey has moved their lib/install folders to C:\ProgramData

Are you (un)happy/neutral about the idea of expecting users to be “elevated” when running cinst?

Does that mean boxstarter only works on machines that have access to the public internet?  <– I know it does, just want to bring it up

What do you think about a “Moderated” feed like NuGet has for Microsoft

Isn’t virus scanning the package mostly useless, since the package is just a script that downloads from the web? Would you guarantee that the install.ps1 can’t download anything without scanning it?

Assuming that malicious code does make it into Chocolatey, what’s the response?  API keys revoked, packages taken offline, etc?  How fast would that happen?

Sorry, yeah, http://c758482.r82.cf2.rackcdn.com/Sublime%20Text%20Build%203059%20x64%20Setup.exe my point is that your url was the official one
