Hi Marius, I have missed that discussion at FOSDEM, but it sounds great! Good to know about that systemd, today I tried to pack a program that urgently needs the '/etc/os-release' file and I didn't know how to get that in. But systemd is the "owner" of that file and so we get it for free now. Cool (This time it's free as in beer). Here is a great article about that file: http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/os-release.html So, yeah, finally GuixSD is no longer one of those small ones, but a big player in distributions. I'm only a bit disappointed that you couldn't get that in a bit earlier than April 1, as I used the holidays to brainwash my head with the services documentation. I'm so into the topic now that I painted all my easter eggs full with parenthesis, "#~" and "#$" and dragged colored strings between them building a big Easter-DAG, and now I should forget about all of that? Well, OK, if it is for the future of GuixSD, I can live with that.
