Hello all, Some of you might know about my interest in making the world of user-oriented deployment a better one, roughly called "userops". Here's a post with some background:
http://mediagoblin.org/news/userops.html I decided it might be useful to list properties I think such a system should provide. So, here's Userops Acid Test v0.1: http://dustycloud.org/blog/userops-acid-test/ These are an implementation-agnostic (or an attempt to be) set of properties that I think a system needs to provide to make deployment fairly easy. I'm interested in helping get Guix to this state; there are some things that Guix does currently on this list really well, and some things it's really lacking at the moment. Anyway, since I'm going to be working on that more over the next few months, I thought I'd make note of this list here... maybe others will find it interesting! - Chris
