Hi Ben. I've seen some of this, too. I attribute it to the small
community and userbase. We just can't compete with the likes of Nix.

Looks like https://dumps.repology.org/ provides sufficient data to
have this kind of mapping, provided there is some leg work to map
distros to their multiple respective repositories.

So it sounds like my first steps are to re-implement the downloads
using aria2c. This would affect the minimum base package, no? Can I
get some buy-in from maintainers that such changes are acceptable?

One thing which could be done is to use https://repology.org/ to map
currently installed packages from detected package managers to
available packages in Guix and inform the user about missing packages.
That could help.

Presently, I am waiting until the end of global warming to finish
pulling down texlive packages. I see that there are a few servers
from which packages are provided. Is the following feasible as a
feature to improve effective download speed?
List the base information for what packages there are

would like to move everything over to Guix with Nix tacked on. Is
there a guide on how to do this?
Better built in support across the board at runtime code level for feature

Hey guys,
Starting up the Qemu image off the website immediately results in a kernel
panic and can't run. This should be fixed quickly.

If I am not mistaken, that error happens when a dependency (in this case
make) is missing from the package's 'native-inputs' field for
dependencies. But make should still be pulled from requiring the make
build flow, so maybe that got omitted. So if you fix the packaging .scm

I would expect guix to bootstrap and run on x86_64. I thought it worked on

You can save the manifest file wherever you want, since you pass the

several months of running Guix, I've never needed to use the --profile

To actually use the manifest, you want to pass it to `guix package`.
For example, here's the command I normally run to upgrade everything:
