That sounds pretty nice. I watched your presentation on Guix and liked =
it a lot. The main reasons why I did not try it yet are time and being =
happy with Gentoo=E2=80=A6 and that I=E2=80=99m consistently out of dis=
kspace=E2=80=A6 :)

But transparent binary packages sound really nice and the concept of de=
fining packages as lisp files is quite close to the ebuilds I know from=
 Gentoo - maybe even closer, because it might need less shell hacks.=20=


I think a really worthwhile goal would be to add a compatibility layer =
between debian source packages and Guix, so we can avoid splitting our =
efforts on different code organization methods.

Maybe a Guix package which essentially just refers to a debian source p=
ackage - for getting the version as well as for getting the code.

Best wishes and the best of luck with Guix!
Arne
