Hey, this is good stuff! I like how some explanations are framed from a Rubyists perspective. I hope it may help some Ruby programmers join in on all the packaging fun. I would like to correct something in the HACKING.org document: Note that Docker is a propriety technology and frowned upon by members of the GNU Guix community. Docker is free software[0]. Some of us may not be very enthusiastic about Docker (me), but we do not frown upon it because it gives its users the 4 freedoms. I also feel that this is a good time to mention that someone should package the Go compiler. ;) Thanks, - Dave [0] https://github.com/docker/docker
