Hi all,

I recently mentioned Flatpak and Snap. There are GNOME Software
plugins for both of these formats [1][2] which makes them more
accessible to everyday users.

Does issue 17152 [3] mean that a matching plugin [4] is on the
Guix roadmap?

Could a plugin like this work on a system where Guix wasn't
packaged natively? For Debian-based systems, I'm imagining this
would require two packages (debs): "guix" itself and a
"gnome-software-plugin-guix" package.

Regards,
David
