Parity PPA #542
Comments
I wonder if cargo deb might simplify this process. Most of the debate here is to be able to package for debian on non-debian systems |
Building a debian package is not a problem, we have that already. The main issue here is supporting source build on launchpad.net. PPAs for rustc and cargo are required for this. |
Parity really needs this! |
This would be a very nice improvement for the install process. |
PPAs are very insecure both for the user and the developer, because during the installation the maintainer scripts are executed with root permissions. We learned a lot about PPAs here in Ubuntu, so now have a better alternative called snaps, which are secure during installation and execution. The packaging format is a lot simpler than a deb. I made one for parity, you can check it in #5496 . |
Seeing as the default way is manually downloading a zip or deb from the web, I wouldn't really call ppas insecure. Plus they (or generally repos) are the default install method still. |
