We are pretty trusting ... yes, really the source ought to be available for scrutiny and the repositories ought to be digitally signed. I'm guilty too, I haven't figured out how do make a Debian source package (I use RedHat which uses RPMs)



Also, if anyone can please advise on how to go about obtaining the source-code for cron and compiling on the device itself that would be much appreciated. I only have windows - can scratchbox be installed on windows (or via Cygwin) ?
I built cron from
David Loren Parsons <http://www.pell.portland.or.us/~orc> ; I hadn't found convulted's one. My repo at http://andrew.triumf.ca/N810/reposit.../binary-armel/

I believe scratchbox will run in cygwin (not certain). Putting a whole buiild
environment on the tablet itself would be a squeeze; gcc would probably
fit to build "hello world" but typical apps need all the gnome and hildon libraries, include files etc. etc.
