I agree that signed packages are a good idea. We should move with all haste to implement them. But I'm not sure we want to hold up everything else while we wait for that.

IMO, mirroring is orthogonal to that, too.

That's also my take on a peer-peer repository, as I said already.

Do you mean a two-way sync here? I think it'd be way easier to just set up a slave repo using rsync, and let people edit their .cabal/configs. But I don't really know the internals, perhaps there are implementation details of cabal or hackage that complicates this? -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
