Deprecate `unpackself` command #3426

Closed vexx32 closed 2 months ago

vexx32 commented 2 months ago

Checklist

Is Your Feature Request Related To A Problem? Please describe.

-unpackself is presently only used at build time. We can deprecate this command and stop using it for the build process, and eventually remove it.

Describe The Solution. Why is it needed?

-unpackself works by embedding files that are already shipped alongside choco inside the executable, and unpacking them. However, these unpacked files are unsigned, as the build process signs them after building choco itself, so there is limited usefulness in the command.
