Just to understand, since I am not totally familiar with the debian/ folder, you are speaking about this file, for instance, https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/pigx-rnaseq/-/blob/master/debian/upstream/metadata What would be nice for Debian instead of <https://guix.gnu.org/en/packages/pigx-rnaseq-0.0.10/>? And where could I find a an example on how the others do? > The fun part is, and this is where this shot on guix comes in, that we > can compare a Debian based implementation with an image that upstream > provides.

I am not sure how the image upstream provides is built, probably with "guix pack -f docker": <http://bioinformatics.mdc-berlin.de/pigx/supplementary-materials.html> > Hm. Not so sure. My interpretation was some general incompatibility of > above docker-approach with GUIX, so I happily adopt the "guix pack". There is another level to build Docker images using Guix: "guix system docker-image" but it is more complicated and probably not the correct path to distribute packages in a container. <http://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-system.html#Invoking-guix-system> All the best, simon
