Yes, it is the default branch and no, they won’t.
Still need to get you on RT.

Keith,
I assume the daily builds are built on the default branch, right? If so, they
won’t really change a whole lot every day, will they?

Not really. The only risk is that if someone hacked into our server and
replaced the good BB with a bad BB that they built the user wouldn’t know it.
With our ssigned installer there’s more assurance that it is the official one
and not a substitute. Hoepfully our server is secure and there is also the
added security that it is replaced by a new build every day.
I guess the bottom line for users is that there is a very slight risk if they
install the daily build. They just need to be aware of that.

Is it an issue for the daily build to not be signed?
Personally I think not as users of that should be more aware of what they are
doing (IE. daily builds are not user recommended builds, they are to assist
with development).

I apologize for cross posting but wanted to be sure everyone got this…
I have worked out the remaining issues with the automated build except for
signing. You may now download the daily build at
http://www.aph.org/beta/bb-windows-daily_setup.exe.
This is an unsigned installer. That doesn’t mean it isn’t safe but only that
Windows will discourage you from running it.
The signed installer is at http://www.aph.org/beta/bb-windows-beta_setup.exe.
This gets updated with each iteration, currently every two weeks. Since I have
found no good way to automatically sign the windows installer I’ll just sign it
manually before posting it.
I may update the BrailleBlaster site to point to these files rather than
copying them to the site itself.
Thanks.
Keith
