#+TITLE: Tentative GNU Guix Road Map
Copyright © 2012 Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>
Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification,

notice and this notice are preserved.
The goals of the GNU Guix project are two-fold:
- to build a purely functional package manager, based on Nix and
Guile;
- to use it to build a practical 100% free software distribution of
GNU/Linux and possibly other GNU variants, with a focus on the
promotion and tight integration of GNU components.
This documents lists tentative milestones toward these goals.
* GNU Guix 0.1: Dec. 2012
** basic package management facilities
Including install, upgrade, remove, roll-back, and search.
** self-contained user-land distribution
- GNU/Linux-only, i686 and x86_64; optionally mipsel64
- ~100 non-X11 packages
** maybe integrated Nix code
* GNU Guix 0.2: Feb./Mar. 2013
** improved package management features
- user-environment hooks
- sophisticated handling of collisions when building a union (package
priorities, etc.)
** auto-update facility available for GNU packages
** more packages
- Xorg
- Emacs
* GNU Guix 0.9: June 2013
** bootable GNU/Linux-Libre distro
** high-level OS configuration descriptive EDSL, à la NixOS
* GNU Guix 1.0: September 2013 (GNU anniversary release)
** bootable GNU/Linux-Libre distro with non-GUI installer
** usable for a range of hacker-style uses
