Are “PPA's” safe to add to my system, and what are some “red flags” to watch out for?
Should I trust these packages and ppas on Oneiric Amd64?
PPA:
ppa:webupd8team/jupiter
ppa:atareao/atareao
ppa:webupd8team/gnome3
ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
Packages from ppa above:
Jupiter gnome-shell-extensions calendar-indicator oracle-java7-installer indicator-weather lo-menubar xscreensaver xscreensaver-gl-extra xscreensaver-data-extra gimp gimp-plugin-registry gimp-resynthesizer
These PPA's you have mentioned are maintained by
- Webupd8
- Ubuntu-x-swat
- atareao
Webupd8 is quite a trusted site. They provide proper well made stable packages. Many people (Even me!) use their PPA's. You should not have a problem with their packages. See their home page
Ubuntu-x-swat is also a great team. Here also many people use it (Me also, again!). You can safely use it but do not forget to read the instructions here
atareao : I have never used their PPA but searching around on the net gives a hint that they are a bit trusted and also recommended by some sites.
Generally most PPA's you find should be stable with no "evil" in them. Just to be sure keep a point in mind to add a PPA only if some sites recommend them. Also make sure to add only stable version of a PPA. Some PPA's provide development versions which might thrash your PC if they are buggy. So in the end the choice is yours.
