Temporary Guix branches

This is a first step towards bootstrapping from a set of pre-built, statically-linked binaries. * guix/build-system/gnu.scm (package-with-explicit-inputs, standard-inputs): New procedure. (%store): New variable. (%standard-inputs): Remove. (gnu-build): New `implicit-inputs?' keyword parameter. Use it to choose whether to use `(standard-inputs SYSTEM)' or the empty list. * distro/base.scm (guile-2.0): Remove dependency on XZ, which is now implicit. (%bootstrap-inputs, gcc-boot0, binutils-boot0, linux-headers-boot0, %boot1-inputs, glibc-final, %boot2-inputs, m4-boot2, gmp-boot2, mpfr-boot2, mpc-boot2, %boot3-inputs, gcc-final, %boot4-inputs, %final-inputs): New variables. |

-*- mode: org -*- Guix is Nix[0] from Guile[1]! Concretely, it allows Nix package management to be done entirely in Scheme. The goal is to investigate whether Scheme, and in particular the ability to define EDSLs, would allow it to fulfill the role of the Nix language. [0] http://nixos.org/nix/ [1] http://gnu.org/software/guile/ * Hacking Guix currently depends on the following packages: - [[http://gnu.org/software/guile/][GNU Guile 2.0.x]] - [[http://nixos.org/nix/][Nix]] - [[http://gnupg.org/][GNU libgcrypt]], or [[http://nongnu.org/libchop/][libchop]] For bootstrapping purposes, it is useful to reuse packages from Nixpkgs. For this to work, you need to have a checkout of the Nixpkgs repository, with the `NIXPKGS' environment variable pointing to it. - [[http://nixos.org/nixpkgs/][Nixpkgs]] * How It Works Guix does the high-level preparation of a /derivation/. A derivation is the promise of a build; it is stored as a text file under =/nix/store/xxx.drv=. The (guix derivations) module provides the `derivation' primitive, as well as higher-level wrappers such as `build-expression->derivation'. Guix does remote procedure calls (RPCs) to the Nix daemon (the =nix-worker --daemon= command), which in turn performs builds and accesses to the Nix store on its behalf. The RPCs are implemented in the (guix store) module. * Contact The repository is at <https://gitorious.org/guix/>. Please email <ludo@gnu.org> or <nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl>, or join #guile or #nixos on irc.freenode.net or `civodul'.
