Ok. I am not a security expert, but I am not sure that downloading
those things from https:// gives any win over a http:// download. What
would be more interesting is to be able to verify the cryptographic
signature of those tarballs (or the signature of a hash of those
tarballs), to actually be able to verify that those tarballs have
really been emitted by whoever is supposed to emit those tarballs. But
that's another story, and there are probably many projects that don't
provide cryptographic signatures to verify the authenticity of
the tarballs.
