I understand Guix package manager is powerful. I think you should use an alias feature (or whatever it is called under Guix), and create and few aliases to help with administration: gcc -> libgccjit g++ -> libgccjit gcc-c++ -> libgccjit These are the names developers expect for the compiler. They don't expect a name like libgccjit. With the aliases in place, a command like 'guix install gcc' works as expected. Without the aliases (and absent a sane package name), people have to lookup the documentation and read how to use the package manager for a simple task like installing the compiler. When 50 or 100 developers waste 15 minutes of their time, that's about 1 man-week wasted. There's no reason to waste man-weeks on simple tasks. Thanks in advance.
