The goals of the GNU Guix project are two-fold: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- to build a purely functional package manager, based on Nix and |
|
|
|
Guile; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- to use it to build a practical 100% free software distribution of |
|
|
|
GNU/Linux and possibly other GNU variants, with a focus on the |
|
|
|
promotion and tight integration of GNU components. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This documents lists tentative milestones toward these goals. |
