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.

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 Guix Xsearch extension is a new implementation of Guix search sped up by using a Xapian cache.

Poetry is a tool for dependency management and packaging in Python. It allows you to declare the libraries your project depends on and it will manage (install/update) them for you.

Meta Package Manager (mpm) is a Command Line Interface that wraps multiple GNU/Linux package managers behind a unified interface. It can list, search, install, upgrade, and remove packages across all detected managers simultaneously. Output formats include tables, JSON, and CSV.

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.

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.

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.

Libsolv is a library for solving package dependencies using a SAT solver. It is used by the RPM package manager and the Mamba/Conda package managers.

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.

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.

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.

This package provides a PackageKit frontend for GNOME. PackageKit is a common unified interface for package managers.

The BFFE of Build Farm Front-end is an experimental frontend for Guix build farms. It works together with the Guix Data Service and Guix Build Coordinator to submit builds and monitor the activity.

It functions as a Guile library, with the run-bffe-service procedure in the (bffe) module as the entry point.

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 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.

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.

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 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.

Modules simplify shell initialization and let users modify their environment during the session with modulefiles. Modules are used on high-performance clusters to dynamically add and remove paths to specific versions of applications.

The conda-libmamba-solver package provides a fast solver backend for Conda based on the libmamba library. It significantly speeds up dependency resolution compared to the classic solver.

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

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.

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.
