Hi R=C3=A9mi,

Thanks for the update!

So I can see two milestones now, as we discussed before:

  1. Create a variant of =E2=80=98guix publish=E2=80=99 that publishes over=
 GNUnet=E2=80=99s
     file sharing (FS) service, using the neat bindings that you wrote.

     For that you can literally copy guix/scripts/publish.scm as a
     starting point, and simply remove the HTTP-related code (which is a
     small fraction.)  The rest will be mostly identical: narinfo
     meta-data generation, signing.  I guess it will be easy to test it
     using gnunet-search and similar tools.

     As a 2nd step, we=E2=80=99ll see how we can refactor things to allow c=
ode
     sharing between the existing =E2=80=98guix publish=E2=80=99 and its GN=
Unet variant.

  2. Create a variant of =E2=80=98guix substitute=E2=80=99 for searches thr=
ough GNUnet.
     Again, a large part of the code is about narinfo and signature
     checking, and it can be reused.

I=E2=80=99m not completely clear on how search for substitutes will work,
though.  Currently, when the user wants to build /gnu/store/xyz, =E2=80=98g=
uix
substitute=E2=80=99 simply fetches http://hydra.gnu.org/xyz.narinfo.  How w=
ill
that work with GNUnet?  Are we going to look up their /gnu/store file
name?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
