--- Begin Message ---Hello, The GNU Guix project [0] is about producing (1) a package manager for the GNU system, and (2) a distribution of the GNU system (currently on top of Linux-Libre). We would like the distribution to be officially recognized as an offspring of the fully free distro family. ;-) Part (1) is essentially done. Part (2) is on its way: the distro contains only ~500 packages currently. It is self-contained, in that it doesn’t depend on external tools or binaries to build its packages [1]. However, it is not bootable yet, so it can only be used atop a running GNU/Linux system. (There’s on-going work to reach the point where we can boot directly into it.) The distro obviously contains only free software, and it follows the FSF free system distribution guidelines [2]; it is not based on any existing distribution. Package contributors perform a license and copyright check on the packages they add. Package meta-data records the license of each package [3]; we do not keep track of copyright notices on a per-file basis like Debian’s copyright files do. So that’s it. We are interested in feedback on freedom-related issues, so please let us know what you think, as ask us any questions you may have, preferably via [email protected]. Thanks, Ludo’.
