Further then the "simple" version bump, we also improved the package of guix :) Installing guix on (open)SUSE should be as simple as: zypper install guix systemctl start guix-daemon Between the different (open)SUSE distros exist some differences: openSUSE Tumbleweed Due being a rolling release distro, you get on Tumbleweed always the newest version of guix. openSUSE Leap 15 In the standard repositories guix is still on 0.14 and there are now plans from our side to change that. From the devel:languages:misc[0] repo you can get guix at version 0.15. SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 (SLE) Guix is not officially supported by SUSE, so there is no guix package in SLE. By adding the devel:languages:misc and the security:tls[1] repository, you should be able to install guix even on SLE :) guix-weekly This package of guix is directly build from the git source and gets updated every week or so. It's purpose is to keep on track with changes in guix master and to offer you a recent guix without using "guix pull". It resides in the home:jbrielmaier:branches:devel:languages:misc[2] repo. Thanks to all those people who helped us with packaging, in particular Ludovic!
