I tried Guix on a foreign distro but ran into some problems with SELinux and locales. Do you recommend using GuixSD on a virtual machine, or do you think a foreign installation would be easier for development? I reckon a setup for internal development wouldn't be the same as a setup for the end-user. I think I might need to work directly from the trunk, so maybe I need to get familiar with `guix environment' for testing? I'd appreciate some tips on this. > Well, last but not least, what topic you may be interested in to work on? I decided on the task to add a `guix git log' subcommand, out of the two tasks on the Outreachy page. :-) [1] Aside from that, can you tell me more about how this mentorship process works? Is there a regular schedule with meetings or progress reports or such?
