  Whilst I agree we should be as careful w root as possible - if someone
is willing to install a binary rpm as root - how is that more secure
than building the source to the same package?

  I know in theory the build could execute scripts etc .. but ..

  Do we think redhat/fedora provide src rpm's which have things in them
(ie bad) that are not in the binary ? Or the other way round ? Or both ?

  Or are the concerns for non-fedora packages?
