The practice has either been eliminated or curtailed but, yes, this was done for a long time.
- lamby 8y agoCurtailed... "Source-only uploads" (the term to Google for) are not required. I suspect they are not even the norm due to not being the defaults for various tools, etc.
- lfam 8y agoThanks for the clarification. My impression as a Debian user was that it had been mostly curtailed. It doesn't matter too much... you either trust your contributors or you don't. But it's still a bit icky.
