Political views as they are, it’s gotten a lot of pushback

Yeah, the comment above mixed up grammar nazis with actual nazis I guess.

<package>.install scripts which don’t have to be explicitly mentioned in the PKGBUILD if it shares the same name as the package.

Can you show a reproducible example of this? I couldn’t get a <package>.install included in a test package I made without explicitly adding it as install=<package>.install.

Most people claim they read the PKGBUILD (which I don’t believe tbh)

If you don’t trust people to read PKGBUILD’s I’m curious which form of software installation (outside of official repositories) you find safe.

This makes no sense. There might be various reasons a person might want/need to be on facebook. Does that mean they waive all right to privacy in every aspect of their life forever?

What did he do? I’m out of the loop.
