You are right. At the moment we need to install Figlet (a widley used tool for ASCI header generation). This is only temporary until the new solution without this dependencie is finshed. A part of this is already done. We do not plan to widen this habbit outside of scripts not mean t to be used on the host itself. We are aware what this implies for a user and the trust you put in us maintainer and the scripts in this repo. I hope i have answerd all your question! |

Hello:
I was reading the code and it seems some parts are installing some tar file on the host for displaying the ascii header in a stylish way.
I dont really understand all of the code so please correct me if I'm wrong.
I was assuming that the scripts were only operating on ct or vm instances.
Are there plans for these scripts to start doing that now?
IMHO this should never be done, much less without explicit consent from the user, considering scripts are being run as root.
Maybe I sound a bit paranoid but this kind of modifications could seriously diminish the trust on these scripts for me.
