When binaries are properly compiled & built in your own OS/distro then that is more trustworthy & better, than faster & directly download (pre-built) binaries. Some (3rd-party) pkg-mngr downloads binary that is pre-built with already patched source for your OS/distro. Usually package's maintainer patches the original-source to make it suitable for compile/run in target OS/distro. Some (3rd-party) pkg-mngr by default downloads package's source (and dependencies / pre-requisites) & also auto compiles it in your OS/distro to create/build binary file(s). If previous steps are not possible for you, (because, “patching” requires software development, and OS/distro platform, and harwdare platform based knowledge, etc) then in such cases using 3rd-party package-manager (pkg-mngr) may be necessary for you. Compile (compilation) process builds package's binary (aka: executable), etc file(s). So your next best option is: compile the source obtained from original author/developer, after you patched the source to make it compatible & compilable for your OS/distro. If original author shares only source, then that means author wants you to compile source. (Package's source (src) code/file needs to be compiled to build package's binary/executable (bin) file⒮). So in such cases, next best option is: obtain the (src/bin) package from original author's website for your OS/distro via secure conneciton. But often OS/distro dev or computer MFR does not update their pre-included packages, or uses older version, or does not include option for user to obtain other/related packages (from OS/distro dev or computer MFR). Notice/CAUTION : Usually most of the time, using source (or binary) packages distributed from primary/original author/developer is much much better than next-level (aka: downstream) package distributors: like, OS/distro developer (dev), computer MFR (manufacturer), etc distributed packages, And usually most of the time OS/distro dev's or computer MFR's distributed package is better than 3rd-party Package-Manager (pkg-mngr) maintainer distributed package.
