I think its a good idea, though I did some work on the second generation of hermes which works a bit differently so I'm still deciding what the best course...

This may not be a real issue we need to worry about.

I think my idea when I created this issue was the package cannot make links so the store can do it automatically yeah. Automatic hard linking/dedup is definitely on the...

The aborted builds are as you said. The symlink date not being cleared seems like something that should be fixed. We can choose any date we want for the store...

Build times are wiped after build completes but before the package is added to the set of installed packages. send/recv sends packages that have been installed, so have times wiped....

No matter how a package was installed, it's date should be wiped by the pkgstore/storify function. Seems like a bug.

Seems like a similar issue to https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/3926. Will investigate.

A big way I want to differ from nix is that I want to maintain an offline index, so hermes only needs to do one network round trip, instead of...

Stretch goal would be save/rewind. This might be as simple as rsync + saving environment variables.

I think the best solution will be init checks if the default group exists, then prints a clear warning with instructions if it doesn't.
