Unlike guix nix does not even have a way to verify package signatures because "it would hurt the workflow of these using the github webui to push stuff to nixpkgs"
- mindslight 5y agoThat's what I get for trying to be constructive. The cancer is everywhere. The real rebuttal is just because a project's page tells you to do stupid things, does not mean you should do them (of course advocating that crap at all makes one question their general security competence) I agree Guix has a much better story on foundational security (cf guix challenge). Nix seems to have more activity. Unfortunately, cancer spreads because it's good at multiplication. But really my greater point is they're both source distributions revolving around persistent package/system management, which allow one to obtain software while managing the provenance of its code.
