#Replace winzip with 7zip archive#
How about adding a zip archive along-side the 7zip one? If users want to save 12MB of download bandwidth then they can go for 7zip, while folks preferring to use the Windows platform's built-in decompression can use the zip.Welcome to the Chocolatey Community Package Repository! The packages found in this section of the site are provided, maintained, and moderated by the community. I'm not sure why the user would care whether the download is 12MB or 22MB, and I'm sure they don't care whether the compressed file is a "good" format or a "bad" format. Not to mention that zip is a mess of a format and LZMA/7z is actually both performant and reasonably clean of a format. Quote: Uncompressed dolphin folder - 55mb

Quote: In any case, I don't see a compelling reason to ditch 7zip.Īs already stated previously: 1) You can't get it securely on Windows, and 2) It's annoying for the user to have to download third party software to unpack an archive. That, unfortunately, does nothing to help the user. (02-26-2018, 12:12 PM)Helios Wrote: It's not our problem if other software can't figure out LetsEncrypt. Maybe then enough people will harass 7zip, WinZip, and the other sites not using HTTPS that those sites will get their acts together. I guess eventually would-be Dolphin users complain that they can't unpack the software because their browser prints a red warning. It becomes very relevant to moves on to block downloading of executable over HTTP channel. They send legitimate Adobe Flash installer over HTTP, then inject it with malware trough MITM: Dear all, consider that Turla Russian APT is exploiting techniques in delivering malware trough sophisticated MITM attacks. I'll just leave this Chromium bug report here so you guys can get a feel for what the wider developer community thinks and what changes might be coming in browsers. Different people have differnet ideas about what is and isn't reasonable security practice on their systems. Thank you for your comments. Mbc07, you've made your point loud and clear that you think this issue is dumb. smashladder is releasing their own package in zip format. Or maybe they use WinZip, which has the exact same problem (website doesn't use HTTPS), or WinRAR if they don't mind the Get WinRAR FREE with TrialPay part. Thanks again for the suggestion to use WSL. Releasing a zip would remove the problem for Windows, and releasing a gzip would make it easier on Linux. Unpacking Dolphin should be easy and secure on any platform. Most users are going to continue using untrusted software, and others like me might just give up when they realize that the 7zip website doesn't use HTTPS.

FWIW it would be nice to have a gz package so I don't have to install a 7zip program in WSL. Of course, a very small fraction of your users will think of using WSL or even know it exists. That's a really good idea, thanks! That's probably what I'll do. Quote:Alternatively, you can use WSL to give yourself a reproducible Linux environment in Win10 where you can download a 7zip extractor securely, and extract Dolphin that way. I expect most real life users don't even think about security and download 7zip from the 7zip website because that's the shortest route to a working emulator. I fall into the category of "could do that, but no way I'm going to spend the time".

That's true! But expecting a Dolphin user to understand the 7zip code, know how to build from source on Windows, and be willing to put in the time to review the 7zip code just to play with Dolphin seems unrealistic. Quote:7-zip is open source so you can securely download the source, inspect it yourself, compile the source, and be on your way. I'd like to add a couple of comments intended to illustrate the whole situation.
