How do you guys get software that is not in your distribution's repositories?

AUR. If it doesn't exist on AUR (very unlikely, but happens sometimes), I make a package for it.

On non-arch distros, I often use LURE.

How safe is LURE?

I only use my own installer scripts with LURE, so I'm not sure about the safety of the publicly available repos. But the project itself seems to be pretty solid and reliable.
