XStow is a replacement of GNU Stow written in C++. It supports all features of Stow with some extensions.

pipx is a tool to help you install and run end-user applications written in Python. It's roughly similar to JavaScript's npx, and Trisquel's apt.

The Nar Herder is a utility for managing a collection of nars (normalized archives, in the context of Guix) along with the corresponding narinfo files which contain some signed metadata.

It can assist in serving a collection of nars, moving them between machines, or mirroring an existing collection of nars.

It's currently a working prototype, many designed features aren't implemented, and the error handling is very rough.

The SVG files in this directory are intended to be used as backgrounds for different components of the GNU system like login managers and desktop environments. The backgrounds are available in different aspect ratios which are indicated in the file name.

Akku.scm is a project-based language package manager for R6RS and R7RS Scheme. It is mainly meant for programmers who develop portable programs or libraries in Scheme, but could potentially work for end-users of those programs. It also has a translator from R7RS, which allows most R7RS code to run on R6RS implementations.

Flatpak is a system for building, distributing, and running sandboxed desktop applications on GNU/Linux.

The Guix Build Coordinator helps with performing lots of builds across potentially many machines, and with doing something with the results and outputs of those builds.

msitools is a collection of command-line tools to inspect, extract, build, and sign Windows Installer (.MSI) files. It aims to be a solution for packaging and deployment of cross-compiled Windows applications.

Hatch is a modern, extensible Python project manager.

Features

• Standardized build system with reproducible builds by default

• Robust environment management with support for custom scripts

• Configurable Python distribution management

• Easy publishing to PyPI or other indexes

• Version management

• Configurable project generation with sane defaults

• Responsive CLI, ~2-3x faster than equivalent tools

libostree is both a shared library and suite of command line tools that combines a "git-like" model for committing and downloading bootable file system trees, along with a layer for deploying them and managing the boot loader configuration.

The RPM Package Manager (RPM) is a command-line driven package management system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying, querying, and updating computer software packages. Each software package consists of an archive of files along with information about the package like its version, a description. There is also a library permitting developers to manage such transactions from C or Python.

GNU Guix is a functional package manager for the GNU system, and is also a distribution thereof. It includes a virtual machine image. Besides the usual package management features, it also supports transactional upgrades and roll-backs, per-user profiles, and much more. It is based on the Nix package manager.

The libgcab library provides GObject functions to read, write, and modify Microsoft cabinet (.CAB) files.

Conda is a cross-platform, Python-agnostic binary package manager. It is the package manager used by Anaconda installations, but it may be used for other systems as well. Conda makes environments first-class citizens, making it easy to create independent environments even for C libraries. Conda is written entirely in Python.

Guix-Jupyter is a Jupyter kernel. It allows you to annotate notebooks with information about their software dependencies, such that code is executed in the right software environment. Guix-Jupyter spawns the actual kernels such as python-ipykernel on behalf of the notebook user and runs them in an isolated environment, in separate namespaces.

ASDF is a version manager for programming language runtimes and tools. Versions can be defined and managed on a per-project basis. It features a plugin system that allows it to be extended to support further languages. It currently supports a many popular runtimes, such as Ruby, Node.js, Elixir, and Erlang.

The Guix Build Coordinator helps with performing lots of builds across potentially many machines, and with doing something with the results and outputs of those builds.

This package just includes the agent component.

The Guix Workflow Language (GWL) provides an extension to GNU Guix's declarative language for package management to automate the execution of programs in scientific workflows. The GWL can use process engines to integrate with various computing environments.

GNU Guix is a functional package manager for the GNU system, and is also a distribution thereof. It includes a virtual machine image. Besides the usual package management features, it also supports transactional upgrades and roll-backs, per-user profiles, and much more. It is based on the Nix package manager.

Nix is a purely functional package manager. This means that it treats packages like values in purely functional programming languages such as Haskell—they are built by functions that don't have side-effects, and they never change after they have been built. Nix stores packages in the Nix store, usually the directory /nix/store, where each package has its own unique sub-directory.

The Guix Workflow Language (GWL) provides an extension to GNU Guix's declarative language for package management to automate the execution of programs in scientific workflows. The GWL can use process engines to integrate with various computing environments.

GNU Stow is a symlink manager. It generates symlinks to directories of data and makes them appear to be merged into the same directory. It is typically used for managing software packages installed from source, by letting you install them apart in distinct directories and then create symlinks to the files in a common directory such as /usr/local.

This package contains GNU Guix icons organized according to the Icon Theme Specification. They can be used by applications querying the GTK icon cache for instance.

Conan is a package manager for C and C++ developers that boasts the following features:

• It is fully decentralized. Users can host their packages on their own private servers.

• It can create, upload and download binaries for any configuration and platform, including cross-compiled ones.

• It integrates with any build system, including CMake, Makefiles, Meson, etc.

• It is extensible; its Python-based recipes, together with extensions points allow for great power and flexibility.
