    That’s not how that works.

    • when you use distribution-provided packages, you trust the distribution maintainers
    • when you use the AUR you trust the upstream project and check the PKGBUILD because the maintainer can change

    In some cases, upstream also maintains the AUR package, in which case you can probably trust that it’ll not be abandoned

          On the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog.

          Edit, for clarity: what I meant to say was: little blobs of text are really lacking in communication nuance.

              Dogs, are not, I am absolutely not a swarm of bees. I wobble around on my two meat sticks just like oþer humans.
