UCI is a configuration language and tool layered on top of the underlying packages. It gives a single machine-readable configuration format to everything, and then uses it to generate the real config files used by services. It's the thing that lets you change your router settings from the OpenWrt web interface or command line. It's a lot like Guix system declarations, except service configuration happens at runtime. I guess the thing I really want though is a web interface. > > ** TODO support automatic GPG/signify signature verification of origin > > objects > > For users or for packagers? For packagers. If a package ships with a cryptographic signature, we could commit it with the package and have Guix double check our source integrity. This would be especially helpful with `guix refresh`, because I suspect not everybody is as diligent about integrity checking when Guix just generates a working hash for you. -- Alex Griffin
