I understand that probably there is little interest if you are a device ROM maintainer to embed a backdoor into it. But it’s still possible. Lineage has a fairly simple and open build process. Should I do it on my own? Or should I trust the maintainers and not bother? What are your thoughts?

      wow. yeah, i remember trying to build lineage for my old phone after support ended and the people on xdadevelopers also stopped making inofficial builds. my notebook wasn’t up to the task. not enough ram, too much data on the ssd.

      My LineageOS 17 (Android 10) build tree is under 200GB. Adding a ccache dir puts it just slightly over that.

      Used hard drives twice that size are cheap.
