# www.linuxpackages.net FAQ

<redtricycle> Well, I know people are against LP
<redtricycle> I was wondering if the same was for slacky
<mindbendr> why's that

<nullboy> redtricycle: i think any package site that shows you the build scripts can be trusted since it allows you to audit it
<BP{k}> mindbendr: for the following reasons:
<jkwood> Although, nullboy has a good point.
<BP{k}> 1) linuxpackages has no known QA or its fairly obsure
<BP{k}> 2) they allow packages to be build on nonclean systems that will introduce dependencies on your system that you dont need
<jokie51> Gee, complain complain :P
<BP{k}> 3) lp.net will also put out their own versions of programs that appear in slackware. Which might make trouble shooting for us a whole kinda hard
<mindbendr> do they, thought they've got nice policies and rating system
<BP{k}> 4) and on top of everything else: http://slackadelic.com/2007/04/11/linuxpackagesnet-intentionally-malicious/
