Description
Functional package manager with a Scheme interface.
GNU Guix is a purely functional package manager for the GNU system, and a distribution thereof. In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package management, per-user profiles, and garbage collection. It provides Guile Scheme APIs, including high-level embedded domain-specific languages (EDSLs), to describe how packages are built and composed. A user-land free software distribution for GNU/Linux comes as part of Guix. Guix is based on the Nix package manager.
