So every line of code during every build is verified? So the build machines could never possibly get hacked to compile with different code than what is in a source package? Or that a government that murders people (many of which it doesn't even bother to identify first) with drones wouldn't consider an OS that millions of people use worth looking at? Or that debian is just automatically too smart to be hacked? I'm just wondering what debian does to check and protect its users, so fuck me, right? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
