From 22a969925769dcbe968b224016f5af00079d68ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Ludovic=20Court=C3=A8s?= Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2020 15:37:02 +0200 Subject: channels: Remove 'signature' from . In the end signing the commit/key pair does not buy us much. Someone publishing a valid but different commit/key pair would effectively be publishing a different channel, which could be a fork (made by a former authorized developer) or simply a mirror. In the latter case, there's nothing to be gained by publishing a different commit/key pair. * guix/channels.scm ()[signature]: Remove. (make-channel-introduction): Adjust accordingly. --- guix/channels.scm | 15 ++++++--------- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) (limited to 'guix/channels.scm') diff --git a/guix/channels.scm b/guix/channels.scm index 5f48e6f04f..922c99a967 100644 --- a/guix/channels.scm +++ b/guix/channels.scm @@ -128,22 +128,19 @@ ;; Channel introductions.
