To begin with, I haven't gotten very far. I'm reading through the manual, and the first thing I figured out what to do is write the package definition, http://pastebin.com/2q7LCv2i . I'm not sure what exactly to do with it, it was something about putting it in the guix build tree. Though I'm not

ROADMAP in git tree needs to be updated.

I was browsing the guix git tree the other day, and I was reading the ROADMAP file, and I found it extremely outdated. It talks about Guix 1.0 being released in time for GNU's 30th anniversary. I think it needs a rewrite

Running X on Guix 0.8

I'm running Guix on one of my computers, I've installed icecat, xorg, and windowmaker. I was wondering whether it was possible to run X.

PXE boot.

I want to try out Guix 0.8 on one of my devices. The problem is that it's very old and doesn't support booting from USB's. So I was wondering if I could PXE boot. Is that possible with Guix? Or is there any other way?

How to package software for guix?

I wanna get into guix development. Since I don't know any programming, I would be most useful in packaging software for guix. I want to package lxqt. I know qt5 is in the guix repo. So it wouldn't be very hard to package it, I think. But how do you package and upload software to the repo? Do I have

Another way might be to create a program that checks all the source repos of all the packages. When a new package source file with a higher version number gets uploaded, guix automatically builds the package and uploads it. On Sep 11, 2014 8:31 PM, "Jason Self" wrote: > With the number of package
