I was thinking about this the other day and a wasteful solution to the packaging problem in open source is the decentralized build solution on a blockchain like platform. Either with PoW or PoS. In PoS, a node builds the code pulled from source control, multiple other nodes validate the build and its hash and add to the blockchain and to the repository. Now the builds are relatively trustable. Of course need to figure out an incentive structure for miners/validators to do this expensive work.
