I am writing an advanced cross-platform open-source application.
It is commercial app, but free&open-source (GPLv3).
The thing is, this app is related to data security, so we need, that the source code could be easily reviewed by the community.
Will it be better to distribute this app using own Debian repository (created with
reprepro
, for example) or creating a PPA?What are the advantages of creating a PPA instead of own repository (+ build server)?
Do PPA's provide their own guarantee, that the
binary package
was generated from respectivesource package
, so the community could be sure, that the binaries are generated from source without backdoors?
