We are pleased to announce the release of GNU Guix 1.0.1.

This is a bug-fix release primarily addressing one major issue in the
graphical installer of the standalone Guix system, as well as less
critical issues.

• About

  GNU Guix is a transactional package manager and an advanced
  distribution of the GNU system that respects user freedom.  Guix can
  be used on top of any system running the kernel Linux, or it can be
  used as a standalone operating system distribution for i686, x86_64,
  ARMv7, and AArch64 machines.

  In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports
  transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package
  management, per-user profiles, and garbage collection.  When used as a
  standalone GNU/Linux distribution, Guix offers a declarative,
  stateless approach to operating system configuration management.  Guix
  is highly customizable and hackable through Guile programming
  interfaces and extensions to the Scheme language.

Re: GNU Guix 1.0.1 released

[Dan Frumin]

Hi Ludovic,

Congratulations on the release.

Perhaps someone can update the website <http://guix.gnu.org> or <http://guix.info>
which still has a DOWNLOAD 1.0.0 button.

On a related note, how come there are two versions of the official Guix website?
- http://gnu.org/s/guix (this one seems to be the most recent/updated one)
- http://guix.info or http://guix.gnu.org (this one seems to lag behind)

Is it possible to unify them somehow, perhaps? It would be less confusing for people searching
for Guix on Google or DuckDuckGo.

Best,
-Dan

Hi Dan,

Yes, this is on my TODO list and blocked by a little bug.

The gnu.org website is the canonical one.

guix.info and guix.gnu.org point to the same server, so they are equally
outdated at the moment.

Yes.  “guix.info” was a stop-gap domain to enable us to set up
subdomains more quickly, which we no longer need now that “guix.gnu.org”
exists.  “guix.gnu.org” should eventually be the only domain in use.

Sorry for the mess.

Guix 1.0.1 is now finally available on openSUSE Tumbleweed :) The
reviewing took very long and so version 1.0.0 never went through...

Sadly Guix 1.0.x can't be find on openSUSE Leap 15.x/SLES 15 anymore as
it requires Guile 2.2. They will stay on Guix 0.16 :(

Hint: I also maintain a Guix version build from master commits (updated
once ore twice a week) at:
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:jbrielmaier:guix

If you encounter any issues with Guix on (open)SUSE feel free to reach
me out (by mail or in freenode as jonsger).

Happy hacking
Jonathan

Yeah, congrats on all the packaging work in openSUSE!
