    have you ever used Gentoo? if you do, you know how long it takes to build updated software from source code.

    vetting all that, even just the changes would take a lot more time. and it’s a constant effort.

      Never used gentoo but i do build the software i use often

      vetting all that, even just the changes would take a lot more time. and it’s a constant effort.

      First of all, I am, like you and everyone else not alone in this, and for changes it’s sooo easy thanks to Git

        yes, git is a godsend. but who will you trust that they checked the new code, and found nothing bad? different people have different expectations too.
