From what I can tell, there is no official release tarball of Hydra. I
guess we'd have to settle for packaging a snapshot of the git repo?
When trying to build Hydra, I get the error "configure: error: nix-store
is required". Do I need to have Nix installed, or is there a configure
flag I can pass to use Guix?

I wonder how difficult this would be. I haven't explored the full
feature set of Hydra, but I bet we have all the building blocks that we
need. It would be very interesting to explore this more.
