[[https://guix.gnu.org/][GNU Guix]] is a derivation of [[file:2020-09-04-16-07-47.org][Nix package manager]] in furthering [[file:2020-09-19-08-31-48.org][Functional package management]].
As such, it addresses the concerns and the previous mistakes that the Nix community made while developing the software.

- Addresses storage issues commonly tied with reproducibility such as [[https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Substitutes.html#Substitutes][substitutes]] and [[https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2020/grafts-continued/][grafts]].
- Integration with other projects such as [[https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/blog/2019/connecting-reproducible-deployment-to-a-long-term-source-code-archive/][Software Heritage]] and [[https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Security-Updates.html][Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE)]].
- A focus on [[http://bootstrappable.org/][bootstrappable builds]] which [[https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Bootstrapping.html#Bootstrapping][includes various functions]] to setup your distribution from scratch.
- Empowering individual users which is emphasized further with the ability to [[https://hpc.guix.info/blog/2017/10/using-guix-without-being-root/][installing packages without root privileges]], [[https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-environment.html#Invoking-guix-environment][creating local development environments]], and [[https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Channels.html][using channels]].
Update the files for convention Apparently, the convention (at least starting from 2018) is to make the keywords and block names to be in lowercase as stated from one of the following discussions at https://orgmode.org/list/87tuuw3n15.fsf@nicolasgoaziou.fr/. The files was updated with a one liner of shell. However, this is Emacs and org-mode does have an API to let you do stuff in your config and interact with the documents internally so it is not an elegant solution in any way. 2021-04-01 16:08:15 +00:00			`#+title: Guix package manager`

Add a bunch of notes Well, I forgot to add them into the VCS. Whoops... On the other hand, I'm also trying to make it suitable both for org-roam and neuron at the same time. 2020-09-06 12:43:51 +00:00
