I don't suppose you could tell us where the version number comes from then? I looked at opt/keybase/version of the 'now' package (20170214-1250 UTC) you host for Linux x64 and it says v1.4.12. What is the git commit reference for that version?

I would fully recommend against people installing packages from outside their distro. especially crypto related ones.

Do you consider master stable? i.e. should we consider packaging every master commit?
