I do maintain my private packages using GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH too. So how rigid are you on the gnu system thing? Was jookia right that you won't accept patches that will make guixsd a gnu system or something else? ;-) I did some work on using musl as a libc on nixos for embedded systems, I came here because I thought it was more hackable. I guess if you're not interested in uboot, this is a non starter... > This also means that we do not welcome recommendations to use non-free software on the mailing lists or the #guix IRC channel. Does this mean you prefer people not to use the "gnu system" then to use it with non-free firmware? I prefer free firmware to non-free firmware too, but one has the hardware that one has. I think I saw a webgui to guix somewhere, that means that at least some people have the ambition of getting non developers as users at some point right? I think telling non developers to go buy this wifi card if you want to use the gnu system or else we won't help you is kind of not very user-friendly. But anyway these are just my opinions and I didn't really want to start a discussion on a non technical topic though. Don't really know why I replied in the first place, guess I was a little shocked by Jookias email.
