Yes. But as Attila wrote, one can hope that they provide a way to authenticate at least part of their VCS history, for example with signed tags. (Ideally everyone would use =E2=80=98guix git authenticate=E2=80=99 = of course.) > Would the suggestion to use signed tarballs, but to autoreconf the > generated files, not be a better compromise between trusting and > distrusting upstream maintainers? IMO starting from an authenticated VCS checkout is clearer. Ludo=E2=80=99.
