I wonder what are the security policies for openSUSE? What are the chances for malicious software (rootkits, trojans) being offered through the build service?
You have to trust the project you add the URL for.
What is the procedure for security holes and/or exploits in software offered in the openSUSE build repositories? I get the feeling openSUSE is becoming just as insecure as Windows hence the warning you get when adding repo's with 1-click install (see attachment). Or am I mistaken? Any info would be appreciated!
The openSUSE OSS and non-OSS repositories are secured as usual and the paranoid should only trust them. The buildservice repos should not be considered containing secured packages. The security fix policy for those is also left to the responsible maintainers.
