&gt; Support for institutional installations: A central build daemon + farm is a pretty lame say to synchronize things. Should make it so anybody can build stuff, and anybody can share binaries with those that trust them, and shared NSF store or equivalent for de-dup.<p>At the research site where I work as a software person, we use a central guix-daemon managing a shared NFS store.  Anyone can build stuff and manage their own software profiles from cluster nodes.  Works very well for us and gets us a big step closer to reproducible science.<p>Sharing build artifacts also works with Guix.  You can either export from and import items to the store or use &quot;guix publish&quot; to share items via HTTP.
