Hello,

I just want to share an idea I had:

Recently I was involved in packaging a app for f-droid. The f-droid
build system consists of 1) a virtual machine which get cleaned up after
each build. and 2) meta-data descriptions of each package. The meta-data
includes build instructions and is basically a ini-like file. For a
simple examples see [1] and for a complex one see [2].

One of f-droid's goals is reproducible build. De-facto they fail on
this, given the current set up since they update the virtual machine to
some current state.

In got the idea to make f-droid use guix as a base. Of course, this
would be a lot of work, and I do not expect this to happen any time
soon. We have quite a lot of work to do on the guix-side, like building
the Android tools, implement maven and graddle builds, etc.

As said: just wanted to share this idea,
