Isn't this a contradiction: Building a free infrastructure relaying on servers from some Big Corporation? Let allow the privacy concerns raising when delivering data via some Big Corporation. If delivering "packages" works via static data without requiring any additional service, we could ask universities to host Guix, too. IMHO this is a much preferred solution since this is a decentralized publish infrastructure already in place for many GNU/Linux distributions. --=20 +++hartmut | Hartmut Goebel | | | hartmut@goebel-consult.de | www.goebel-consult.de |
