Subject: [bug#42048] [PATCH 6/6] services: provenance: Save channel introductions.
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2020 17:53:38 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87v9j8mtx9.fsf@elephly.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200625211605.29316-6-ludo@gnu.org>
I looked through the changes and while I don’t fully understand the need
for adding the introduction to the provenance data, it looks good to
me. Thank you!
One thing that I worry about is authentication of channels that are
added as dependencies of user-selected channels. Let’s say my channel
“guix-bimsb” depends on “guix-past”. How will users of “guix-bimsb”
authenticate the commits of “guix-past” when they don’t know about
“guix-past” (they only care about “guix-bimsb”), and don’t explicitly
add introduction information to their channels file?
Is there something that the authors of “guix-bimsb” can do to not only
indicate the dependency on “guix-past”, but also to attach introduction
information? Will the format of the “.guix-channel” need to be
adjusted?
