Two questions: 1. Why is guile not simply a build dependency? Or is is that the tar ball is expected in place for bootstrapping and will fail otherwise. Looks a bit odd to have guile in multiple places. 2. What do we do with the store? I know Nix should move to /gnu ;) My personal solution would be to hard link between /nix and /gnu. Will the default be good enough? It will be a good thing to maintain this Nix package until Guix comes with all the binary installation options that Nix has. Be interesting to see when Debian accepts a Guix package. Don't see why not, really, since they allow for rubygems, cpan etc. Pj.
