Lubuntu uses Launchpad to host the code for building the packages (desktop meta package, artwork, etc..) on Ubuntu's servers. The Ubuntu build servers use the normal Debian way for checking and validating things. They use lintian for the Debian package lint checks, and pbuilber to compile it and make the packages which does some pretty strict checking of the the packaging. This is all validated via APT. Lubuntu packages are directly included in the Ubuntu repositories (not a PPA) LXDE/Qt hosts their code on Github. I am not sure what they use for their builds. But this is the compiled code (the panel, filemanager, etc...), Lubuntu doesn't really write many compiled programs/packages, though IIRC there may be a GTK app written in Vala for something, but I may be mistaken. -- Regards
