Hi Guix,
Does someone plan writing init script for Guix, so it will work on
distributions using sysV init? There are still distributions not using
systemd, for example Devuan and last time I checked, the install script
doesn't support it.
I ask because I use Devuan on my more powerful machine, where I can't
install Guix System, because of the proprietary nightmare related to
drivers, I reported last summer (the issue is unsolvable).
If I could run Guix on this machine, instead of my old thinkpad with 3GB
of RAM, working on Jami would be easier for me - I'm trying to
investigate the source of bugs in our package, but I can't build
packages such as webkit-gtk or Qt on my potato laptop.
