Think you got GNU.Linux cred?  Think again.

Bash is in many ways the lifeblood of a GNU/Linux system and

What follows is more on the infamous XZ backdoor.

The xz backdoor exploited autotools and bash in a brilliantly

The crux is that if you cannot follow the process then you
have absolutely no GNU/Linux cred.

All those who cannot follow should leave this group and never
return.  They are totally useless.
