• About

  GNU Guix is a functional package manager for the GNU system.
  The Guix System Distribution, GuixSD, is an advanced distribution
  of the GNU system.

  In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports
  transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package
  management, and per-user profiles.  GuixSD offers a declarative
  approach to operating system configuration management and is highly
  hackable.  Guix uses low-level mechanisms from the Nix package
  manager, except that packages are defined as native Guile modules,
  using extensions to the Scheme language.

  The operating system uses the Linux-Libre kernel and the GNU dmd init
  system.  At this stage it can be used on an i686 or x86_64 machine.

  It is also possible to use Guix on top of an already installed
  GNU/Linux system, including on mips64el and armv7.

  [*] 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-0.9.0.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 keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 3D9AEBB5

  and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

  This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:

    Makeinfo 6.0
    Help2man 1.47.2

  Installation” in the manual.  To install Guix on a running

  The operating system service API in (gnu services) has been completely
  rewritten, significantly improving extensibility and modularity, while
  providing a framework that makes it easy to reason about service composition.
  Consequently, several sources of redundancy and confusion in
  ‘operating-system’ declarations have been eliminated.  See “Service
  Composition” in the manual.

  *** libc honors the new ‘GUIX_LOCPATH’ environment variable
  *** Xfce now defaults to the GNOME icon theme
  *** 543 new packages
