Subject: [bug#33899] [PATCH 0/5] Distributing substitutes over IPFS
Date: Mon, 13 May 2019 14:51:42 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5e3fb8d9-1a83-4031-ab02-c4e10e2be1ea@www.fastmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181228231205.8068-1-ludo@gnu.org>

Do I understand correctly that the only reason you don't just store nar files is for deduplication? Reading [this page][1] suggests to me that you might be overthinking it. IPFS already uses a content-driven chunking algorithm that might provide good enough deduplication on its own. It also looks like you can use your own chunker, so a future improvement could be implementing a custom chunker that makes sure to split nar files at the file boundaries within them.
