We are pleased to announce the release of GNU Guix & GuixSD 0.16.0, representing 4,515 commits by 95 people over 5 months.
This is hopefully the last release before 1.0. • About GNU Guix is a transactional package manager for the GNU system. The Guix System Distribution, GuixSD, is an advanced distribution of the GNU system. In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package management, and per-user profiles. GuixSD offers a declarative approach to operating system configuration management and is highly hackable. Guix uses low-level mechanisms from the Nix package manager, except that packages are defined as native Guile modules, using extensions to the Scheme language. GuixSD uses the Linux-Libre kernel and the GNU Shepherd init system. It can be used on an i686, x86_64, armv7, or aarch64 machine. It is also possible to use Guix on top of an already installed GNU/Linux system, including on armv7, aarch64, and mips64el. https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/ • Download Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]: https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-0.16.0.tar.gz https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-0.16.0.tar.gz.sig Here are the bootable USB installation images and their signatures[*]: https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guixsd-install-0.16.0.i686-linux.iso.xz https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guixsd-install-0.16.0.i686-linux.iso.xz.sig https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guixsd-install-0.16.0.x86_64-linux.iso.xz https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guixsd-install-0.16.0.x86_64-linux.iso.xz.sig Here is the QCOW2 virtual machine (VM) image and its signature: https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guixsd-vm-image-0.16.0.x86_64-linux.xz https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guixsd-vm-image-0.16.0.x86_64-linux.xz.sig Here are the binary tarballs and their signatures[*]: https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-binary-0.16.0.i686-linux.tar.xz https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-binary-0.16.0.i686-linux.tar.xz.sig https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-binary-0.16.0.x86_64-linux.tar.xz https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-binary-0.16.0.x86_64-linux.tar.xz.sig https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-binary-0.16.0.armhf-linux.tar.xz https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-binary-0.16.0.armhf-linux.tar.xz.sig https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-binary-0.16.0.aarch64-linux.tar.xz https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-binary-0.16.0.aarch64-linux.tar.xz.sig Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth: http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html Here are the SHA1 checksums: 62f665dc02ea4c575f75b6728d6ec62875206846 guix-0.16.0.tar.gz ae4ded76633ff0d37c5297f457542cee2e6ee205 guix-0.16.0.tar.gz.sig e035d1f977d8d5fc12f405efaadfca88d8c6cb14 guix-binary-0.16.0.aarch64-linux.tar.xz a6edd77819695afe86d9c4c82bd4cba676bc3677 guix-binary-0.16.0.aarch64-linux.tar.xz.sig 99ac67458c91859fdfe7b74c7ef23abd9c735c9b guix-binary-0.16.0.armhf-linux.tar.xz b03daba12302e0af19375c99734dd9bbd560616c guix-binary-0.16.0.armhf-linux.tar.xz.sig bc6bee2f3bbeb36e70a61fb0666bd06112fe5554 guix-binary-0.16.0.i686-linux.tar.xz 0d9f39dc060098784c1c3a77cce1c81c0474f473 guix-binary-0.16.0.i686-linux.tar.xz.sig 144a6e7d94552566fe0bf1dc9235ce8e723135b3 guix-binary-0.16.0.x86_64-linux.tar.xz a5bee7f04d2b4c95f5a9fa3dbea8af57d8b3515c guix-binary-0.16.0.x86_64-linux.tar.xz.sig ee9c380e2dfde7eb14423f0769c01c0f2c572791 guixsd-install-0.16.0.i686-linux.iso.xz 6a0666abdeb1a55ca4aedbcf969cc135fc0bf7ba guixsd-install-0.16.0.i686-linux.iso.xz.sig fa88f9c595b8ecfc5b63427bbf193014434e9865 guixsd-install-0.16.0.x86_64-linux.iso.xz a4c67a86f322e8845d23b17274d31df97f7ce035 guixsd-install-0.16.0.x86_64-linux.iso.xz.sig 5e0fa514a5362e1874affe8165dd76e02d515da4 guixsd-vm-image-0.16.0.x86_64-linux.xz ecfbe5db25aff2c6dbc62b7372afb7452f940d57 guixsd-vm-image-0.16.0.x86_64-linux.xz.sig [*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact.
