Honest is that if all the source code that is compiled is available as open source and a binary with the same signature can be built using that code then the chances that the code acts against your interests is much less than binary blob that you can not vet... etc.
- Lennie 11y agoI'm a Debian user: https://reproducible.debian.net/reproducible.html https://reproducible.debian.net/reproducible.html Partly because they do care about these things and they are sending patches upstream as well so as many as possible applications in Debian can eventually be build reproducible. I hadn't seen it before, but even better they added this piece of text on that page: "we care about free software in general, so if you are an upstream developer or working on another distribution, we'd love to hear from you! Just now we've started to programatically test coreboot and OpenWrt - and there are plans to test Fedora, FreeBSD and NetBSD too."
