Beta Offline decryption utility

So far as I can see, there has been no formal migration of stripts out of beta

Where are you looking and what defines "formal"?

yet the mainstream WebIF is (I think) dependent on it.

It is. And stripts isn't in beta and hasn't been for a long time.

Perusing the WebIF package management, it seems to me the beta tag has been quietly dropped on a number of packages, so it would be useful if their relevant threads were moved to the main forum or closed to make the status clear. It's a pain when I'm trying to keep definitive records.

That's a decision for the forum moderators and/or the package authors. I'm not sure it's helpful to drop the Beta tag from the forum discussion (by moving the entire thread). It's probably best to lock the Beta thread and start a new one in the main CF section, with a reference to the previous one.
It just needs someone to go through the Beta sections and do it and/or request it of the moderators.
For reference, this page tells you what is currently in the Beta repository: https://hpkg.tv/hdrfoxt2/beta.html
and it isn't much.

I've produced updated Linux builds of stripts to match the one now available for the Humax in the Beta section.
They work for me, but please test for yourself, if you are so inclined and know what you're doing!
Both 32 and 64 bit versions are here: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/d6la3r13aq3ueaq/stripts.zip

These versions allow encryption as well as decryption, and also allow piping via standard input.
For example, if 'something' was outputting encrypted packets in .m2ts format, then you could decrypt on-the-fly by:
humax# something | stripts -@@ -- - file
which would create test.ts, or pipe into 'something-else':
humax# something | stripts -@@ -- - -|something-else
