Guix is based on the Nix package manager, which was designed and implemented by Eelco Dolstra, with contributions from other people (see the nix/AUTHORS file in Guix). Nix pioneered functional package management, and promoted unprecedented features, such as transactional package upgrades and rollbacks, per-user profiles, and referentially transparent build processes. Without this work, Guix would not exist.
基于 Nix 的软件发行版 Nixpkgs 和 NixOS 也给 Guix 带来了灵感。
GNU Guix 是一个许多人参与贡献的集体项目。在 Guix 的 AUTHORS 中能更多地了解这些大好人。THANKS 中列出了乐于助人者们:报告程序错误、维护基建、艺术创作,提出建议等等——谢谢你们!
