Bummer.
Thank you for all your good effort, Joseph, nevertheless!

Yes, I got used to git too. It boils down to three, four short commands to install Armory:
- download that stuff from github
- auto-configure the source
- compile the source

I always write down the stuff I did, so it takes only a few seconds the next time.
And that way I end up with an up-to-date version too.

So, as maybe the next-best option, how about having a repository/server where all common Bitcoin software is available and up-to-date? One-stop for bitcoin-core, Armory, Electrum, you name it? Of course that server really, really has to be like Fort Knox! :-)
Like, more secure than github or "regular" linux repos. If this one gets hacked and malware built into it's gonna hurt.
Ah, maybe the little gain in convenience isn't worth it?
