1.2 GNU发行版

Guix提供了一个GNU系统发行版,这个发新版只包含自由软件3。这个发行版可以独立安装(see 系统安装),但是把Guix安装为一个已经安装好的GNU/Linux系统的包管理器也是可行的(see 安装)。当我们需要区分这两者时,我们把独立的发行版称为“Guix系统”。

这个发行版提供了GNU核心软件包,如libc、gcc和Binutils,以及很多GNU和非GNU应用程序。可用的软件包的完整列表可以在on-line浏览,或者通过运行guix package(see Invoking guix package)获得:

guix package --list-available

我们的目标是提供一个基于Linux和其它GNU变体的可用的100%自由的软件发行版,我们的重点是推广和紧密集成GNU组件,以及强调帮助用户行使那些自由的程序和工具。

目前这些平台提供软件包:

x86_64-linux

Intel/AMD x86_64 架构,Linux-Libre 内核。

i686-linux

Intel 32 位架构(IA32),Linux-Libre 内核。

armhf-linux

ARMv7-A架构,带硬件浮点数、Thumb-2和NEON扩展,EABI硬件浮点数应用二进制接口(ABI),和Linux-Libre内核。

aarch64-linux

little-endian 64-bit ARMv8-A processors, Linux-Libre kernel.

i586-gnu

GNU/Hurd on the Intel 32-bit architecture (IA32).

This configuration is experimental and under development. The easiest way for you to give it a try is by setting up an instance of hurd-vm-service-type on your GNU/Linux machine (see hurd-vm-service-type). See 贡献, on how to help!

mips64el-linux (unsupported)

little-endian 64-bit MIPS processors, specifically the Loongson series, n32 ABI, and Linux-Libre kernel. This configuration is no longer fully supported; in particular, there is no ongoing work to ensure that this architecture still works. Should someone decide they wish to revive this architecture then the code is still available.

powerpc-linux (unsupported)

big-endian 32-bit PowerPC processors, specifically the PowerPC G4 with AltiVec support, and Linux-Libre kernel. This configuration is not fully supported and there is no ongoing work to ensure this architecture works.

powerpc64le-linux

little-endian 64-bit Power ISA processors, Linux-Libre kernel. This includes POWER9 systems such as the RYF Talos II mainboard. This platform is available as a "technology preview": although it is supported, substitutes are not yet available from the build farm (see substitutes), and some packages may fail to build (see 跟踪程序漏洞及改动). That said, the Guix community is actively working on improving this support, and now is a great time to try it and get involved!

riscv64-linux

little-endian 64-bit RISC-V processors, specifically RV64GC, and Linux-Libre kernel. This platform is available as a "technology preview": although it is supported, substitutes are not yet available from the build farm (see substitutes), and some packages may fail to build (see 跟踪程序漏洞及改动). That said, the Guix community is actively working on improving this support, and now is a great time to try it and get involved!

在Guix系统里,你声明操作系统所有方面的配置,然后Guix以事务型的,可重复的,和无状态的方式解决实例化配置的问题(see 系统配置)。Guix系统使用Linux-Libre内核,Shepherd初始化系统see Introduction in GNU Shepherd用户手册,知名的GNU工具和工具链,以及你可选的图形界面环境和系统服务。

Guix系统在上面所有的平台上都可用,但mips64el-linux, powerpc-linux, powerpc64le-linuxriscv64-linux除外。

构建这个发行版需要努力合作,欢迎你加入!关于你可以怎样提供帮助的信息,See 贡献

这里的“自由”指的是软件提供给用户的自由
