Je vais citer le texte d'avertissement de la page des sources non officielles. Il me semble suffisant : Important warning This information is non authoritative. There is no warranty for anything. Debian has not even to care about this. Some people, among the maintainers of these sources, are actual Debian developers but not all. Official packets came from Debian developers and are distributed from Debian official sites and CD-ROMs. Unsupported packages came from NOBODY. No PGP signature, no authentification, no support, no address in @debian.org, no Bug Tracking System. Who wants, at is own risk, takes unsupported packages and (potentially) compromises her own system, can do it from these sources. "Maintainers" are who they say to be. If you find a bug try to contact the package "maintainer". If he helps you, you are fine, if not you shouldn't have been installing unsupported packages. :-) > g�n�ralisation : > - � partir de quand/quoi une (nouvelle) source > (hors "domaine debian") est-elle consid�r�e comme fiable ?? Justement : quant elle cesse d'�tre "hors Debian". Quant le paquetage est int�gr� dans Debian, ce qui veut dire examin� par James Troup (a�e) et utilisable dans le BTS (le syst�me de gestion de bogues). -- Stephane Bortzmeyer http://www.internatif.org/bortzmeyer/ Tout est al�a, confusion et pr�carit�, sauf le Catalogue.
