It looks pretty much ready to go. Many thanks for the in-depth review, as always. I fixed all your comments. I also hope it will help people dive into the image creation stuff. The two big remaining areas left to be a credible alternative to buildroot/Yocto and friends are in my opinion: 1. Be able to generate smaller images (without Guix/Guile), with other init systems (initV, android init language), busybox, minimal libc and so on. 2. Be able to cross-compile more packages (qt, gnome, ...). Some work in perspective! Mathieu
