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?

You don't have to worry about the server being compromised, because the software would be signed. The problem is that the person building the software would need to be trusted to not put an exploit into the binaries that the person builds. Someone could probably set up a repository using the binary packages provided by Armory. That way they would be signed by ATI and therefore trusted.

That is a good idea though.
