-*- mode: org -*- [[https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/][GNU Guix]] (IPA: /ɡiːks/) is a purely functional package manager, and associated free software distribution, for the [[https://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu.html][GNU system]]. 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 [[https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/][Guile]] Scheme APIs, including a high-level embedded domain-specific languages (EDSLs) to describe how packages are to be built and composed. GNU Guix can be used on top of an already-installed GNU/Linux distribution, or it can be used standalone (we call that “Guix System”). Guix is based on the [[https://nixos.org/nix/][Nix]] package manager. * Requirements If you are building Guix from source, please see the manual for build instructions and requirements, either by running: info -f doc/guix.info "Requirements" or by checking the [[http

    (description
     "@acronym{pv, Pipe Viewer} is a terminal tool for monitoring the progress
of data through a pipeline.  It can be inserted into any normal pipeline
between two processes.  It gives a visual indication of how quickly data is
passing through, how much has been transferred and how near to completion it is
(with a progress bar), how long it has taken, and an estimate of the remaining
time before completion.")
