After some discussion in haskell@conference.jabber.ru, I've got this ideas: + Distributed hackage is DHT network. + Everything is PGP-signed. + Everyone can push package into network, everyone can rate package (malicious / SPAM / unstable / stable / etc). + User maintains list of trusted people's open keys, in order to validate authenticity and see trusted ratings. Additional features: + Load balancing. + Ability to work through HTTP, trusted LAN peers, etc. Sorry for my terrible English.
Cool, is this the beginning of distributed Hackage? Still needs support in 'cabal-install'.
