    The difference being that distro packages are distributed in a safe matter (signing and verification) whereas a website could be hijacked and the script replaced or you could get M…

    Despite his rude tone he's got a point, perhaps he'd be taken seriously had he approached it in a civil manner.

    GDB and some fprintf calls cut it most of the time. The worst kind of bug is when the program segfaults into oblivion and works fine under GDB but in 99% of the cases that's relate…
