| Nov 11, 2016 at 3:56 | comment | added | d1bro | Yes, i stumbled over this Q&A and I already know about (in)safety of PPAs. Yet I think in regard to safety an answer like the one mentioned above is more than dangerous. So your proposed position would be to add comments to these answers pointing out, why it is not wise to do things like this - especially if the upstream project has a own updating process? Plus wouldn't it be wise to have a flag for insecure answers, so things could be corrected in the afterwards on closed/solved questions? | |

| Nov 11, 2016 at 3:30 | comment | added | TheWanderer | We have a Q&A somewhere on the safety of PPAs. We rely on people to either warn that PPAs aren't necessarily secure, or for people to already know that. It's perfectly acceptable to use PPAs as part of an answer. It is recommended that a warning be put in. | |
