The libarchive that is used to make a swiftly release for Linux is downloaded directly from the libarchive project on GitHub from a release artifact. In theory, this release could become tampered in the future.
Typically package managers get around this problem by both getting a specific version of the package, and also keep a hash/git commit to verify the contents.
Add a content check using an expected SHA-256 sum of the release source tarball of libarchive to help protect against any tampering of the release in the future.
