For some background on myself, I'm a long-time Gentoo user, and I've used Funtoo and Arch some in the past. 1) Is there any way to prevent a package from being installed at all? 2) Are multiple versions of a package in the tree at any given time? 3) Is there any way to install GuixSD from something other than the LiveUSB image on the site? 4) Is GnuNET integration already working? 5) How do I install Guix for a nonroot account in another distro? I'm also curious what the current plans are for Guix/GuixSD are.
