Sorry, I meant to sum the differences up and had forgotten that fact. |

You said "There obviously might be security concerns for users of such |
| 25 |
a system, this can be mitigated by using a central controlling server |
| 26 |
and by taking Hash signatures of compiled packages from users other |
| 27 |
then the original contributer." which mentions a central server. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
But what exactly would it do? Store hashes? Calculate hashes? Store |
| 30 |
metadata? Where does it get that from? |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
So if I understand it right, for building packages you use some |
| 33 |
client-server system and for distributing them you have a central |
| 34 |
server to get information from and download packages using the p2p |
| 35 |
network? |
