Well, except for oldish wget and new certs, https i sbetter, not because
it provides authentication of the downloads (which is what our hashes
are for), but because it also /conceals/ the actual download from prying
eyes.
BTW, we have 131 packages on https, plus the 292 Github-hosted packages
also on https. ;-)
So yes, https is better than http. Always.

Yann E. MORIN.
