Just FYI, the packages in my repo are built in the Fedora/EPEL
buildsystem. They're signed with the same GPG key I use for my mail
as well. Not that you should trust me. But then, if you don't, just
know that I can as easily slip a trojan into my personal repository as
I can into the EPEL packages -- if I were that sort of miscreant. :)
Also, it should be pretty simple to build your own rpm packages from
the spec file in the tarball or from the srpm in my repository (the
process has been documented numerous times on this list).
Any of those is preferable to installing directly from a tarball.
