No. Other than the basic checks from dpkg where it will complain if it tries to overwrite a file. This package is somewhat inferior to the binary installation instructions as it currently stands the guix scheme libraries go into /usr/share/guile/site/2.0/guix. I discovered this causes trouble by trying to use a guix git tree I'd compiled. That didn't work right until after I'd rebuilt it with: $ guix environment guix $ ./bootstrap ; ./configure --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var I'm wondering if the debian build script should build guix, then and then do $ guix package --no-substitutes -i guix And install what ended up in /gnu/store However I haven't checked to see if there's a way to start the guix-daemon in temporary location. The Debian build utilities assume it can cause things to be built in a subdirectory of the source tree by manipulating environment variables. Diane
