Last time we discussed that was on December [1]. What is missing is: discuss if
a) an "official" mirror is hard-coded in '%default-channels'
or
b) an "official" mirror is documented in the manual and it is up to
the user to setup it via ~/.config/guix/channels.scm.
The a) annoys people who do not want the mirror, so they have to tweak
the list by themself and in the same a) is more newcomer-friendly
because it just works.
The b) annoys newcomers because it is another step and in the same
time b) is more customizable.
Obviously, there is option c): guix-install.sh asks a question and
then do the b) dance.
And discuss if a channel is described as:
(channel
(name 'guix)
(url "https://savannah…")
(mirror (list "https://mirror-one…"
"https://mirror-two…")))
[ where mirror is optional ]
or something else?
Well, Ludo suggested [2] to address "Trustable guix pull" [3]; which
should be really cool!
Now, I am not sure to understand if there is no mirror mechanism
because no one took the time to implement it or if any other reasons
related to "trustable guix pull".
