Anyone who wishes to get a “pure”, verified build of the source is free to do so. This is just me personally providing a convenience mechanism for those who want to take the short path to get started easily on development. I’m not against scripts to download/properly arrange the official distributions, just concerned that the complexity involved (at present) might turn away developers. We can keep both camps happy. — Dr Peter M.
