Hello, I'm writing a wrapper for Guix + User Namespaces called UGuix. The goal is to implement a tool that would be easy to use and that would provide users a possibility to install Guix, and then Guix packages without having a root. It's inspired by https://github.com/nix-community/nix-user-chroot but aims to be more user-friendly and high-level.
It already works like this: ``` $ ug bootstrap ... # Downloads the binary distribution of Guix, unpacks it to `~/.guix/root`, does unshare + chroot to the dir with `/gnu` mounted along with all `/` contents, auths substitutes, downloads latest packages, installs `hello` Hello, world! $ ug run hello # Runs `hello` installed to `~/.guix/root/gnu` Hello, world! $ ug guix install mc ... # Installs mc ``` It works but I want to want to do proper testing before I publish my work. The question is: is it OK to run the tests which run bootstrap with downloading packages from substitutes over and over again? Also, I want to make it so that GitHub Actions will start the tests on new PRs. -- Regards, Roman Inflianskas
