What PPAs do you enable?

[gnomeuser]

Personally I have:

Updated Telepathy and Empathy packages:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/telepathy/ppa/ubuntu

Updated Banshee packages:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/banshee-team/ppa/ubuntu

Pulseaudio 0.9.15 (because I want to correctly configure my 5.1 and have better stability)
http://ppa.launchpad.net/themuso/ppa/ubuntu

Updated X drivers:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu

Wine, I don't really run many windows applications but it's worth running the dev release.

How safe are PPA's ? with growing FOSS popularity, could we begin to see malicious PPA's. Something i wonder...

I currently have Docky and Exaile PPA's enabled.

Edit: on re-check I currently have SMPlayer.

It depends on how you look at it, all PPAs are signed with their own key. You can thus be sure when you install them that the packages have passed through that PPA. What someone puts in a PPA is though entirely up to them and as such no safer than how much you trust them. In the PPA you can see the data that went through the build system so you can track what goes on your system down to the specific code changes. Given the signing you can also be reasonably sure that the package you install is the package you inspect in the PPA.

Still I only enable PPAs from people I trust and I know to do good work that can be counted on.

As a packager your name is right on there, it can be tracked down to you. Doing anything evil would leave a very clear trail of breadcrumbs to your door. If anyone was caught doing this he would instantly be experiencing the full wrath of the community.

I'm pretty satisfied with jaunty as it is. Also, i usually just download the package i want from the PPA instead of adding the repo. I have had enough surprises with regressions (winehq repo), and rolling updates from arch linux. The reason i run ubuntu is because it's in a "frozen" state. If i introduce new packages to the system i prefer to do it selectively.
Having said that, i will probably update gnome-do when it hits 0.8.2 though. ( https://launchpad.net/~do-core/+archive/ppa )

I use these:
https://launchpad.net/~webkit-team/+archive/ppa
https://launchpad.net/~transmissionbt-beta/+archive/ppa
https://launchpad.net/~globalmenu-team/+archive/ppa
https://launchpad.net/~spring/+archive/ppa

In intrepid I also had the do-testers PPA.

• Midori (https://launchpad.net/~midori/+archive/ppa) (Dependent on the Webkit PPA)
• Webkit (https://launchpad.net/~webkit-team/+archive/ppa)
• Chromium (https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa) (Very unstable)
• Shutter (https://launchpad.net/~shutter/+archive/ppa)
• Daily Mozilla builds (Firefox 3.5/3.6) (https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozill...y/+archive/ppa)

I was actually thinking about starting a thread like this. I'm really interested to see what other people use!

Quite a few... Here's all my extra repos (not all are PPA).

Google (though I don't use anything from that one at the moment), Medibuntu, MkvToolNix, NX, Opera, Pidgin, Shutter, Ubuntu Tweak, VirtualBox, and Wine. I think this is a really great way of distributing software! Hope to see more people distributing their application through PPA (or an off-site Debian repository) in the future.
