I feel I should respond more to Thread %07VekPq... but it is a little beyond me right now. I'm focusing for now on preparing git-ssb for binary release [%IqmWR2V...], a somewhat concrete and fundamental task. If people cannot install git-ssb, it doesn't matter so much what features or advantages git-ssb has. ssb-npm remains difficult so I want to insulate people from that.

Two questions:

1. Would anyone like to test a git-ssb binary release candidate?

2. Does anyone have any best practices for installer shell scripts, or recommend any examplary ones?

Currently I am referring to nvm's installer script (via %9c2tLY9...). I have also referenced ipfs's "brain dead" install.sh. nvm is not a typical case because it embeds itself into the shell, not simply installing an executable. So I'm looking for more examples as I undertake writing another one.

@cel I would be up for testing as well, I've been looking into using git-ssb inside docker containers, but building the containers is currently a bit challenging when it comes to installing git-ssb, and I'm not really satisfied with the Dockerfile :)
