Regarding guix packaging, it still needs test suite fixes and/or workarounds and eventually various other packages updated to guile 3.0: https://bugs.debian.org/850644 My packaging branch, based on the last release which was guile 2.2 based: https://salsa.debian.org/vagrant/guix I've made a couple attempts at updating to a newer git snapshot, and there's talk of a new guix release in the near future, so it might make sense to wait for a release-candidate of guix before diving in too deeply. I'm a little hesitant at the moment to take on sponsoring other arbitrary packages that I'm not directly involved in, though I would be more able to make the time if it also fixes reproducible builds issues. The Request-For-Sponsor (RFS) process that pabs pointed to will hopefully find some other people who can help! Thanks for getting yourself even more invovled in Debian. :) live well, vagrant
