So if the ardour site was hacked then is there not a possibility that the sourcecode has been compromised too? Is the code signed?
What I am getting at is that if you install ardour using a root account but the version you are installing is maliciously compromised then your system canbecome pwned.
I doubt this since if I wanted to own a few systems then I would not leave thehack evident but Linux is very close to some large exploits due to the natureof distributed and weakly protected code.
