Opened the akonadi package (first one alphabetically), and the author of the latest changelog entry is Nikolay Romanov <lum [ynwim] live.ru> > Other than being referred to from some blog posts, I did not find > any information as to whether or not this PPA can be trusted.

I haven't inspected all of them, just akonadi. But for it, there are sources (and I haven't inspected que quality). That doesn't mean the work done for those packages can be reused. Making a quick and dirty package for yourself can be done in minutes if for your use case some things are irrelevant. But that is not normally the case of official packages. -- Alex (a.k.a. suy) | GPG ID 0x0B8B0BC2 http://barnacity.net/ | http://disperso.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
