Comment on AURpocalypse now: a look at the recent AUR attacksparent

Comments

You think that users having to find and download software from the Internet at large is both similar to the AUR model and has preferable handling of these issues?

Can you elaborate?

To me, installing software from the AUR sounds a lot like downloading Windows software from .info sites and torrents. It's mostly fine, but it's not exactly a surprise when things go wrong.
