Real talk for a moment, there isn’t a system alive that currently solves the supply chain attack issue. there’s a trade-off between usability, and security. You can be a secure as you want to be, all it takes is a small accident by one developer in a package that you’re using, even if they’re using gpg signing to accidentally upload A package that’s been tampered. It stinks, but that’s the reality. What I think should be applauded is the thoroughness that the arch developers are going through the repo right now trying to find these packages. I don’t know the specifics, but if they’re like other open source developers, they’re unpaid people doing this out of their love for the software and community. and more than likely, this is a headache on top of headaches that they already have that they’re doing for the love of the community.



Funny enough, bricks do that.
