Thanks, that was a pretty good summary.
You can ask in IRC #guix for someone to upload the stable version. I have no
idea how to package so I can't do it :/
Guix is so good you could have both development and stable without
interfering one with the other :)
To do code blocks you need to use HTML syntax " "
... Nope. My bad. I went back and did that, after which I was able to run
$ guix package -i hello
(side-note, how does one do code blocks in this forum?)
I now run
$ guix package -A lilypond*
and see Lilypond 2.19.58, which the current unstable version. The current
stable version is
Did you follow step 4?

Fair enough. I should had chosen my wording better.
What I meant is installation using Guix is completely safe and all the
packages there would be OK.
Of course that doesn't mean that the bugs that the software has won't be
there for Guix. Neither that the Guix packages will have more
Thanks. I made it to step 8. When I try to run
$ guix package -i glibc-locales
I get
guile: warning: failed to install locale
warning: failed to install locale: Invalid argument
guix package: error: build failed: the group `guixbuild' specified in
`build-users-group' does not exist
I get
This issue keeps coming up.
Why? What is the barrier to keeping already approved software packages
updated in the repositories?
Why can't the Trisquel project just automatically pull in the software
package from the Ubuntu or Debian repositories as soon as those are updated?
Is there

Guix uses functional programming (Guile) and a mathematical approach to gave
reproducible builds no every package is both secure and corruption free.
So don't worry Guix packages are completely stable
Frescobaldi! That's without any doubt the best sounding name I ever heard so
far. Amazing.. Frescobaldi, can you savor the beauty of the sound in
Frescobaldi?
God dammit, I will need to change my name now, and all of my user names to
Frescobaldi. Ahh, Frescobaldi.. Amazing. Absolutely
I'm referring to Guix
Thanks, I'll try this.
Is it true that if the version number starts with 0 that it's then in beta?
If you're referring to Lilypond, stable versions have an even second number
and devel versions have and odd second number. The current stable version is
2.18 and the current devel version is 2.19.
You could install Guix the package manager, not the distribution, Frescobaldi
is part of the repositories and you will get more up-to-date packages :)
Many of the packages in the Belenos repository are outdated and I've had to
install programs without the package manager. For the most part this is less
convenient but not a huge problem. However, I am a beginner and the messiness
of doing everything manually is starting to get a little
