#+TITLE: Tentative GNU Guix Road Map

The goals of the GNU Guix project are two-fold:
- to build a purely functional package manager, based on Nix and
Guile;
- to use it to build a practical 100% free software distribution of
GNU/Linux and possibly other GNU variants, with a focus on the
promotion and tight integration of GNU components–the GNU system.
Since its inception, the project has gone a long way towards that goal. Below
is a list of items we want for version "1.0" of the Guix System Distribution.
There will be a few 0.x releases by then to give the new features more
exposure

The file is empty.
* gnu/packages/key-mon.scm: Remove file.
* gnu/local.mk (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Remove it.
* po/packages/POTFILES.in: Remove it.

Previously, service descriptions appeared in both guix.pot and
packages.pot, but only translations of packages.pot were used.
Now, translations are only done with guix.pot.
This is better, because translators are more likely to translate
guix.pot, and is also easier, because files in gnu/{home/,}services
need to be in po/guix/POTFILES.in anyway and po/guix/Makevars
already acts on the 'description' keyword because of lint checkers.
* guix/scripts/home.scm (service-type-description-string):
Use translations from guix.pot.
* guix/scripts/system/search.scm (service-type-description-string)
(service-type->recutils): Likewise.
* po/packages/POTFILES.in: Move files in gnu/services to ...
* po/guix/POTFILES.in: ... here.

t
- peer-to-peer distribution of updates (GNUnet?)
- more deterministic builds
+ identify & fix sources of non-determinism in builds
+ strengthen guix-daemon containers to further increase reproducibility
+ trusting-trust: bootstrap with different tool chains
+ fixed-point: re-bootstrap until fixed point is reached
+ distributed validation: compare contents of store items with others
* resist a hydra.gnu.org compromise
- reproducible containers: mix of 'guix environment' and 'guix system vm'
- execute code with least privilege
+ build containers like guix-daemon does
+ provide a Plash-like interface in Bash
- daemon rewritten in Guile
- more shepherd integration
+ monitor network interfaces and start/stop events based on that
+ include a DHCP client written in Scheme
