Managed repositories are actually quite a bit different, since the requirements to edit emacs-wiki are quite a bit less stringent than those to submit a modification of someone else's package to a repository.
Apt, Yum, etc., require trust in the repository infrastructure and those select few with write access to a given repository. Emacs Wiki requires trust in the entire internet.
- nic-ferrier 14y agoBut we're not talking about that, as I said elsewhere, MELPA can have quite strict requirements (only the people allowed to commit to the github project of a repo can make a change, seems fair enough) and marmalade is aiming towards digital signatures. This would make marmalade the same as any other repository with low code review. How much do Debian people code review before a package goes into APT? or CentOS people?
