For instance, F-Droid only permits software that can be verifiably compiled by them. It essentially bans binary blobs yet it is very useful.

- turminal 4y agoF-droid also has very different goals and lives in a much smaller and in some ways much saner ecosystem.
- baeaz 4y agoF-Droid is infamously known for taking weeks to build a new version of any app.
- yjftsjthsd-h 4y agoI'm given to understand that's more about having an offline signing process then the actual builds.
- BiteCode_dev 4y agoYes, but pypi has 4 millions release to check, and the scientific and machine learning wheels are very hard to compile (scipy contains c, fortran and assembly code, and must be compiled to mac, linux and windows). Providing a build env for that would make it prohibitively complicated and expensive, and basically would mirror github CI. That's the reason continuum is making money: they sell a python package distribution channel that is checked and locked.
