Hello! These days I’m looking at this idea, and as I though about it more and more questions rose, concerning both what you expect of this project and how to put it up.
As I understand it, the idea would be to allow users to use substitutes provided through GnuNet, therefore in a decentralized fashion. Ideally, would anyone be allowed to provide substitutes? Or would there be a set of “trusted substitute maintainers” (possibly one maintainer by package)? Maybe a mix. Maybe “answering this question” is part of the project? Another point is: how would Guix handle these different sources? Should it propose the end-user a choice, or include a way to automatically choose in most cases? The prospect of having a (semi-)decentralised and Lisp-based package-manager is really appealing. Sincerely, -- Rémi Birot-Delrue
