-
- 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.
-
-
- * GNU Guix 0.1: Jan. 2013 (was: Dec. 2012)
-
- ** basic package management facilities
-
- Including install, upgrade, remove, roll-back, and search.
-
- ** self-contained user-land distribution
-
- - GNU/Linux-only, i686 and x86_64; optionally mipsel64
- - ~100 non-X11 packages
-
- ** maybe integrated Nix code
-
- * GNU Guix 0.2: Feb./Mar. 2013
-
- ** improved package management features
-
- - user-environment hooks
- - sophisticated handling of collisions when building a union (package
- priorities, etc.)
-
- ** [[file:TODO::*add%20guix-pull][guix-pull tool]] to quickly update Guix and GNU for normal users
- ** support for fetching pre-built binaries
-
- - this is known as the "binary-cache substituter" in Nix parlance
-
- ** auto-update facility available for GNU packages
-
- ** more packages
-
- - Xorg
- - Emacs
-
- * GNU Guix 0.9: June 2013
-
- ** bootable GNU/Linux-Libre distro
- ** high-level OS configuration descriptive EDSL, à la NixOS
-
- * GNU Guix 1.0: September 2013 (GNU anniversary release)
-
- ** bootable GNU/Linux-Libre distro with non-GUI installer
- ** usable for a range of hacker-style uses
