@khinsen@scholar.social @zimoun@social.sciences.re Oh but the question is whether manifest files should be isolated as well—I should read more carefully. :-) I’d lean towards “no”, because like you wrote, manifests can be and often are more advanced than just lists of package names. Conversely, channel files are almost always trivial, with ‘channel-with-substitutes-available’ being perhaps the only attempt to program channel files (but it is little used AFAIK).

    @civodul@toot.aquilenet.fr I am one of those who use 'channel-with-substitutes-available'! For manifests, I would impose restrictions only when loaded from a URL That doesn't make anything worse than now for anyone. @zimoun@social.sciences.re
