A few months ago I was a Slackware Junkie. I loved it, and laughed at those who used 'more automatic' distributions (ok, I didn't actually laugh). Then Arch Linux 0.5 came out and I was very intrigued by it. I was getting tired of having to compile updated packages myself.

"Just change the source url to get the 'pristine' sources to an alternate url which gets tainted sources."
Yes that true. But that would only occur if you don't take the time to read the PKGBUILD file. As stated before it's very easy to read. It will be very obivous to anyone who reads the PKGBUILD file that ftp:\ftp.someprogram.comprogram.exe is replaced with http:\hacker.malware.comtrojan.exe.
