dillo security question
Hello, After the lightweight webbrowser dillo was mentioned in the October Community Update http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Community_Updates/October_19th,_2008 I was thinking to give it a try on my Fr, but I'm unsure if I should do so; Who is the author of this port of dillo to arm4? There is no reference and the only available download site is http://misc.andi.de1.cc/dillo/ which has no information about who did this port. In addition if you search in Google for the string 'dillo_2.0-r0_armv4t.ipk' you will not get any other reference or download point, nor any MD5 sum. So what? Who did this port and is it safe to install this on the FR? I'm asking because I think it would be easy to write some maleware which let your FR dial every second some expensive service number or send out SMS as SPAM. Don't get me wrong, I'm only speaking about the possibility and that we should know *what* we install on our FR. I'm wrong?
