Hi !! I've just given the binary tarball a spin on Devuan. Worked almost flawlessly (daemonize wasn't installed and I missed the part when it was mentioned because I was a bit in a hurry but apart from that the overall experience was great — the guix text art was surprising in a good kind of way).
I got the warning about the GPG keys, and I confirm I got a single warning for both keys at once with a very simple click'n'paste command to import the keys and fix the problem. Once installed and the daemon started manually, it looks like it works (at least the simple things I use do). To answer Leo's question if I understand it correctly, I can guarantee you that absolutely no guix-related user or group existed before I ran the script, and they have been successfully created (10 guix builder users named `printf "guixbuilder%02d" <$> [1..10]` and 1 group named guixbuild). It's so cool to be able to use Guix on that box (I'll soon reinstall it with Guix I think but in the meantime it's there and that's handy). Thanks !
