<div>I wanted to know about Lubuntu's repository out of
curiosity.</div>
<br>
Does Lubuntu have its own repository, or does it use Github as
its repository for its programs, if Lubuntu uses Github as their
repository then does Lubuntu validate all the programs or does
Github?

<p>Hi,<br>
</p>
<p>Lubuntu uses Launchpad to host the code for building the packages
(desktop meta package, artwork, etc..) on Ubuntu's servers. The
Ubuntu build servers use the normal Debian way for checking and
validating things. They use lintian for the Debian package lint
checks, and pbuilber to compile it and make the packages which
does some pretty strict checking of the the packaging. This is
all validated via APT. Lubuntu packages are directly included in
the Ubuntu repositories (not a PPA)<br>
</p>
<p>LXDE/Qt hosts their code on Github. I am not sure what they use
for their builds. But this is the compiled code (the panel,
filemanager, etc...), Lubuntu doesn't really write many compiled
programs/packages, though IIRC there may be a GTK app written in
Vala for something, but I may be mistaken.</p>
