We are pleased to announce the release of GNU Guix 1.0.1. This is a bug-fix release primarily addressing one major issue in the graphical installer of the standalone Guix system, as well as less critical issues. Read more about today’s announcement at: https://gnu.org/software/guix/blog/2019/gnu-guix-1.0.1-released • About GNU Guix is a transactional package manager and an advanced distribution of the GNU system that respects user freedom. Guix can be used on top of any system running the kernel Linux, or it can be used as a standalone operating system distribution for i686, x86_64, ARMv7, and AArch64 machines. In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package management, per-user profiles, and garbage collection. When used as a standalone GNU/Linux distribution, Guix offers a declarative, stateless approach to operating system configuration management. Guix is highly customizable and hackable through Guile programming interfaces and extensions to the Scheme language. https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/ • Download Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]: https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-1.0.1.tar.gz https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-1.0.1.tar.gz.sig Here are the bootable USB installation images and their signatures[*]: https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-system-install-1.0.1.i686-linux.iso.xz https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-system-install-1.0.1.i686-linux.iso.xz.sig https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-system-install-1.0.1.x86_64-linux.iso.xz https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-system-install-1.0.1.x86_64-linux.iso.xz.sig Here is the QCOW2 virtual machine (VM) image and its signature: https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-system-vm-image-1.0.1.x86_64-linux.xz https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-system-vm-image-1.0.1.x86_64-linux.xz.sig Here are the binary tarballs and their signatures[*]: https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-binary-1.0.1.i686-linux.tar.xz https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-binary-1.0.1.i686-linux.tar.xz.sig https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-binary-1.0.1.x86_64-linux.tar.xz https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-binary-1.0.1.x86_64-linux.tar.xz.sig https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-binary-1.0.1.armhf-linux.tar.xz https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-binary-1.0.1.armhf-linux.tar.xz.sig https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-binary-1.0.1.aarch64-linux.tar.xz https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-binary-1.0.1.aarch64-linux.tar.xz.sig Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth: https://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html Here are the SHA1 checksums: f6e32b17e034124edeec11d841e687ba0ee59242 guix-1.0.1.tar.gz d710c927c1eae466c4f8a11796e196bd61fe07aa guix-binary-1.0.1.aarch64-linux.tar.xz 457b8a13660a764c326096cd3a7107c6e036e406 guix-binary-1.0.1.armhf-linux.tar.xz 314f093ea71702cebdc1a98c3ca8319cd49efbfc guix-binary-1.0.1.i686-linux.tar.xz 8288422fde6a6d4ee257355c21ab9447ae9736cf guix-binary-1.0.1.x86_64-linux.tar.xz 78b48b00c7f5e073a66c976085f0489db2449b0b guix-system-install-1.0.1.i686-linux.iso.xz 41c6ed4e48930fa0ef7954745b5c7a4d85dfd0a8 guix-system-install-1.0.1.x86_64-linux.iso.xz bce4a096717ac7a749cccd8d161d71dfd6c6e579 guix-system-vm-image-1.0.1.x86_64-linux.xz [*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify guix-1.0.1.tar.gz.sig If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it: gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net \ --recv-keys 3CE464558A84FDC69DB40CFB090B11993D9AEBB5 and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.
