Not another vendor-lock-in package manager. And, very predictably, no end-to-end integrity and nonrepudiation. smh.

Yeah, it's unfortunate. Rather than a solution that could be adopted outside of CCI, this is only useful in those configs. So as soon as you use them in your org with this product, you have to reinvent the wheel to get the same functionality in any other CI that a different team might be using.

I’m not the OP but Nix/NixOS is the closest I’ve ever seen to a “Platonic ideal” package manager
