That's the only alternative I see, build it myself locally. But no, I can not simply install it. Not from a home repo that I do not know who made it. Home repos are not for use unless the owner tells you it is safe and ok.
Suuuuuuure! The owner is the guy that (re-)coded it and inserted the trojan. He's the one guy that you can ABSOLUTELY be sure will say "yea, there's nothing wrong with my code, there's no bugs, there's no back-doors, thre's no trojans" while sniggering at you.
You understood it totally wrong. Home repos are the play ground of their owners, and typically they are not intended to install from them, unless you can contact the owner and he tells you otherwise. Some people try to build a package doing several tests, to find out why there is certain problem, and when they get it finally, they move the package to a devel or branch project, which is the one they want you to install from. Not from their home project. You would be very wrong, for instance, to install anything from my home repo, because that's the place I try to learn how to build things in OBS. On the other hand, I found fuse exfat on packman, and I installed it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
