That sounds pretty nice. I watched your presentation on Guix and liked it a lot. The main reasons why I did not try it yet are time and being happy with Gentoo… and that I’m consistently out of diskspace… :) But transparent binary packages sound really nice and the concept of defining packages as lisp files is quite close to the ebuilds I know from Gentoo - maybe even closer, because it might need less shell hacks. I think a really worthwhile goal would be to add a compatibility layer between debian source packages and Guix, so we can avoid splitting our efforts on different code organization methods. Maybe a Guix package which essentially just refers to a debian source package - for getting the version as well as for getting the code. Best wishes and the best of luck with Guix!
