It=E2=80=99s good to collaboratively provide binaries. It=E2=80=99s easier than having everyone set up =E2=80=98guix pu= blish=E2=80=99, at the cost of being more centralized. The =E2=80=9Ccachix use =E2=80=9D example on https://cachix.org/ glos= ses over security =E2=80=9Cdetails=E2=80=9D though. I wonder how one gets to authen= ticate a particular user of Cachix and to authorize binaries coming from them. There=E2=80=99s also the issue that said user could be publishing binaries = they themselves obtained from a source that you do not trust yourself. Tough issues! Ludo=E2=80=99.
