Gnu Guix as a package manager

#1 Post by pannet1 »

I was wondering if guix could be ported in MX Linux as package manager. The major side effect for this would be users will have additional possibility to add their own packages. This will reduce lot of burden from package maintainers shoulders. Then this could be a philosophy thing, so not sure how the community heads will view this.

I may be dreaming without the repercussion, but will it not be wonderful if each one of our packages is always the stable and most current version rolled out by the developers.

This is my Fluxbox . There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My Fluxbox is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my Fluxbox is useless. Without my Fluxbox, I am useless.

I think this has been discussed before here, I don’t believe it is going to happen any time soon.
NEW USERS START HERE FAQS, MX Manual, and How to Break Your System - Don't use Ubuntu PPAs! Always post your Quick System Info (QSI) when asking for help.
