I have been content with running it on Debian, but promoting that on the Guix blog sounds embarrassing ;-) Packaging would entail making Cabal work with GHC_PACKAGE_PATH. There has been some demand for this on the lists already, I will give it a go. In the mean time, for those who want to try it, here are some decent resources (apart from the Ganeti documentation, which is pretty good): * * I can also offer professional help with deploying Ganeti, Guix, and many other things... Contact if that sounds interesting. > I=E2=80=99m not familiar with Ganeti, but it looks like it would simplify= our > complicated VM management setup that cobbles together DRBD, libvirt, > etc. Ganeti is a kind of 'clustered libvirt' that manages networking, DRBD, migration etc. It is an amazing tool, lacking only in online resources. I wish to create a Guix-centric web frontend for it, and ultimately build a native Guix VPS service. But don't hold your breath for this just yet ;-) --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCgAdFiEEu7At3yzq9qgNHeZDoqBt8qM6VPoFAlz8KzUACgkQoqBt8qM6 VPp3JggAqJx+wvCuDsQUejqDfpylAgEiXPWturZfxH3tYVGPRXClOPP9zcolt4ru v4JJ5PqKK9FcLgjqW1LuDWahhRxo6h4G3dhhvTp0V1e6jCxL4c5lGrsdsXF2fU0k PMkH3DSW0Jf5mNgYq/Ouc16zhp1OvpXJhAYox2pUpHIx7iQArlb4J6E0SLPyVGYs NrBIUg88aRp+CmXyWQlLFr94nMAEywS6e88nUgC7uqwbvMWxDENI4I4Hjn84cQ/s ZGojsXY+Xq6jXmicwHF3z9iMIqRcujlCZf8E7RMQwQrKGLcWrIWCBVqjxocf0HWS 08YuaJHmywamXZA43tP0cOxjdy/rrw== =wi9X -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
