Hello,

Pierre Neidhardt <mail <at> ambrevar.xyz> skribis:

What about:

  This package provides a script to unpack self-extracting archives
  generated by @command{makeself} or @command{mojo} without running the
  possibly untrusted extraction shell script.

?

(I didn’t know about these things.)

Otherwise LGTM, thanks!

Ludo’.
