Hello,

May I ask how is safe the use pkgsrc binary packages. For example using pkgin. Does libfetch is doing fine with https? Any thoughts?

Is the authenticity and integrity of packages installed this way is guaranteed assuming no bugs in software involved?

Is it safer to compile by yourself?

Thank you.
