If I change my Question to something like: "What do the experts check before they install from source code?" - Would it be OK ? I'm sure that expert programmers & IT professionals around the world are compiling source code by themselves. So what do they check?
Obviously the advice to audit the source code myself isn't practical. I just want to know what do the expert check before they install from source code.
The user "Nonny Moose" supplied a decent answer. It seems that you prefer to avoid elaborating on the subject... My question is very important and relevant to all Ubuntu/Linux users. I'd like to know what do common experts check before installing a software from source code. Like in every problem, there are the common scenarios and the exotics ones. This is a fair question and should have been asked years ago...
