Description:
Version
1.5.0 of the GNU Guix package manager and the Guix System have
been released. Notable improvements include the ability to run the
Guix daemon without root privileges, support for 64-bit RISC-V, and experimental support for the GNU Hurd kernel. The release comes with ISO-9660 installation images, virtual
machine images, and with tarballs to install the package manager on
top of your GNU/Linux distro, either from source or from
binariescheck out the download page. Guix users can update by running
guix pull. It's been 3 years since the previous release. That's a lot of time, reflecting both the fact that, as a rolling release, users
continuously get new features and update by running guix pull; but it
also shows a lack of processes, something that we had to address
before another release could be made. During that time, Guix received about 71,338 commits by 744 people,
which include many new features. LWN last looked at Guix in
February 2024.
