Hello, I just want to share an idea I had: Recently I was involved in packaging a app for f-droid. The f-droid build system consists of 1) a virtual machine which get cleaned up after each build. and 2) meta-data descriptions of each package. The meta-data includes build instructions and is basically a ini-like file. For a simple examples see [1] and for a complex one see [2]. One of f-droid's goals is reproducible build. De-facto they fail on this, given the current set up since they update the virtual machine to some current state. In got the idea to make f-droid use guix as a base. Of course, this would be a lot of work, and I do not expect this to happen any time soon. We have quite a lot of work to do on the guix-side, like building the Android tools, implement maven and graddle builds, etc. As said: just wanted to share this idea, [1] https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/blob/master/metadata/com.colinmcdonough.android.torch.txt [2] https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/blob/master/metadata/pep.android.k9.txt --
