don't trust third party repositories. if a .deb file has been tempered with then it's game over for you pc. Remember that when you install a deb file you give it root privileges. And when you give that sort of privilege to a malicious .deb you are screeeeewed..
That is how I understand it. I may be wrong
"I may be wrong"
your not
someone could replace the program normally there with this:
#include
int main(){
system("dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda");//very bad :(
return 0;
}
You're right
but Not in this way
This program Exposed
It is so small
and nede root
wel you could just do that and then fill the rest of the file with zero's to make it bigger and if it needs root then just do
rm -r /home/user/*
But the deb could have a malicious preinst/postinst script.
That won't compile, because your #include preprocessor directive isn't complete. You should #include .
EDIT: Nvm, it's a bug in the forum.
This is an official PPA from the developer (Yorba) for their GPL licensed Geary software. https://launchpad.net/~yorba/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
Do your research before you mislead users.
that then depends on weather you trust that developer
i think its just good practise to compile from source if your download a program outside your main repo's

yes. If you know how to do it then you should compile every single application that is not directly in the repos. I agree.
