<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>This is a cross-post of my email to guix-devel.</p> <p>Hi folks, </p> <p>My name is Sage. I wrote a cross-platform Guix-like package manager called Xiden. It applies functional package management to the Racket ecosystem. It is also free software under the GPLv3. The source is available at zyrolasting/xiden on Github, pending migration to a new host. </p> <p>I'm at the point where users are requesting a GNU/Linux distribution for Xiden, such that Racket is the primary language for day-to-day operation. I'm ignorant of the scope of work, and am unsure if I can do it alone. My understanding is that you had to bootstrap your entire toolchain and address Ken Thompson's compiler hack from a different angle. Is that right? </p> <p>I'd greatly appreciate learning how you all built Guix's GNU/Linux distribution so that I can prepare a realistic roadmap and recruit help where necessary. I'm bad at both of those things, but if there is any opportunity to collaborate on implementation details based on Xiden's progress, I am happy to give back. </p> <p>Thank you for Guix, and thank you for any replies.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/vzen"> /u/vzen </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/GUIX/comments/p8v5xd/how_did_you_handle_making_a_gnulinux_distribution/">[link]</a></span>   <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/GUIX/comments/p8v5xd/how_did_you_handle_making_a_gnulinux_distribution/">[comments]</a></span> |
