More work is happenning on distributed substitutes for GNU Guix!

issues.guix.gnu.org/52555

It's one of the features I would really like to see implemented.

It brings us closer to the bright decentralized future and will make people from my country and other regions with censorship and restrictions to have access to great software.

@abcdw Interesting.

I suspect Guix will still need a few Curaiss instances, because there's so much stuff to build. But maybe this will make downtime of the CI servers less of an issue, if I understand the proposal correctly.

@sqrtminusone Yes, a few CI servers will be nice to have, but the cool thing is that it doesn't really matter who will build, where and how. You won't need to set a specific list of substitutes anymore. For small channels you won't even really need a CI in most cases.
