Well, according to the article, the best protection against "bundle-ware"
installers for PasswordSafe is to keep the project active on SF. A couple
of years ago SF approached me with the idea of bundle-ware, which I
politely refused. End of story (or so I thought...).

I will take a long hard look at migrating to another project hosting site
once the forthcoming release (3.36 - uploaded but not yet formally
announced) is out.

Until then, you can verify PasswordSafe downloads against my GPG signature
and the hashes that I publish in the release annoucement.

Cheers,

  Rony
