Hello Pierre,
Just out of curiosity, why did you choose Debian binary packages over
Git source code?
Wouldn't it be easier - and more productive - to build everything you
need from source?
It depends. For some people who want the latest fixes/features then this is the
way to do it. In Arch AUR packages like efl-git and enlightenment-git etc. take
care of this. I even have efl-git-asan, enlightenment-git-asan AUR packages that
do the same but enable asan for debugging to help users provide more
information.
But for most people they don't want to go compiling EFL - not by hand. They
want to agt-get install and then just use it (or yum or dnf or pacman or
whatever). They don't need the build tools or want to spend the time waiting on
builds.
I cannot say better....
My personal policy is to use as much as possible standard deb packages
that are built for me by efficient people minimizing security
problems... I have built from git but it is not a need for me usually.
