> How good is user space support for Guix?

Guix is a purely user-space thing: a package manager, and a distribution
of user-space programs.

It requires to have the daemon running as root (see
<http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#Setting-Up-the-Daemon>),
and then Guix tools connect to it.

Adding packages is always welcome, yes!

I don’t think that would suffice as a GSoC project though.

Thanks,
