(I don=E2=80=99t know UCI.) UCI is a configuration language and tool layered on top of the underlyin= g packages. It gives a single machine-readable configuration format to e= verything, and then uses it to generate the real config files used by se= rvices. It's the thing that lets you change your router settings from th= e OpenWrt web interface or command line. It's a lot like Guix system declarations, except service configuration h= appens at runtime. I guess the thing I really want though is a web inter= face. > > ** TODO support automatic GPG/signify signature verification of orig= in objects >=20 > For users or for packagers? For packagers. If a package ships with a cryptographic signature, we cou= ld commit it with the package and have Guix double check our source inte= grity. This would be especially helpful with `guix refresh`, because I s= uspect not everybody is as diligent about integrity checking when Guix j= ust generates a working hash for you. --=20 Alex Griffin
