S.
Have they not heard of common sense? Whenever I
get something from git I look through it to
check for something suspicious before using it and then and only then do I do make
install.
Up to what size? What about the dependencies? How about the compiler
that compiles it all?
I have a copy of the Linux kernel I checked out on my machine; it's
many millions of lines of code; sorry, I haven't read all of that. I
often install things using the operating system's package manager; I
haven't read through all that code, either. Life's too short as it is!
