IMHO, it is a great package manager, especially when being concerned |
| 12 |
about (bit-wise) reproducibility, 'slotting' various versions and fast |
| 13 |
movement with low risk (reversible upgrades). |

The one feature I miss compared to portage is the configuration via USE |
| 16 |
flags: One could patch Guix package definitions to add compile to flags |
| 17 |
etc, but you can't simply let the package manager resolve the |
| 18 |
dependencies for you. |
