Hi,

Just to let people know that the latest nightly is now available for
installation via GNU Guix, which can run on any GNU/Linux OS. Make sure
to run 'guix pull' first to update Guix itself and its packages
collection.

If you want to hack on Jami, the updated Guix manifests in the project
should make it trivial to setup a working development environment, from
the root of a jami-qt-client checkout:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix shell
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Is enough (it'll use the local 'manifest.scm' Guix manifest). This gets
used automatically by the 'build.py' build script at the root of the
jami checkout, so you can also do:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
./build.py --distribution=guix --install
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And it'll build every component of Jami in a container provided by Guix.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
./build.py --run
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

will run Jami in a clean environment (guix shell --pure).

Happy hacking, and if you have any issues using the above, I'd be
interested to hear it!
