You are getting a wrong perspective here. Any software can contain malicious parts. The build service just provides a platform to create RPM packages from open source code.
Would you trust a software, that you compile yourself from source on your computer, more than a RPM package of that software that you got from the build service? How would you tell that the source does not contain malicious parts?
In Gentoo/FreeBSD/Debian/Ubuntu/ you don't have to worry about that since the maintainer of that package checks this for you. Apparently in openSuSE there is no such safety precaution. -- Regards, Aniruddha Please adhere to the OpenSUSE_mailing_list_netiquette http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_mailing_list_netiquette --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
