Where do the Joomla core packages you use in Professional come from?
Quick question... do the packages in Professional that update the Joomla core come from your servers or Joomlacode.org?
I’m undecided

Inappropriate?Our servers at the moment - which is actually Amazon S3.
Right now these are the full package with the installation directory stripped out, which gurantees we get all files (the patch packages leave out certain files depending on the version of joomla you are currently running).
I'd love to see an official "universal Joomla 1.5" upgrade released by the core team, but so far that's not been happening.
We're looking at doing something different like using the patch files directly from joomlacode, but right now their are various technical issues that need to be solved, first.
The latest version of the updater allows you to download a package to inspect it before installing (click on the "parameters" button to enable that option).
We're also adding md5 checksums to all packages and will start supporting signed manifests as well - that's still a couple of weeks away, and will find a way to use "official" releases when that is enabled.
I share your concerns about security ... it's just taking time and resources to get everything in place.
