* integrate needed Nix code
** MAYBE Add a substituter that uses the GNUnet DHT or [[http://libswift.org][libswift]]
Would be neat if binaries could be pushed to and pulled from the GNUnet DHT or
rather libswift (since DHTs aren’t suited for large payloads). Guix users
would sign their binaries, and define which binaries they trust.
Use UPnP and similar to traverse NAT, like ‘filegive’ does.
** Add a remote build hook
Like scripts/build-remote.pl in Nix.
* Add `guix publish' to publish the store using Guile's web server
Generate narinfos and nars on the fly, upon HTTP GET requests.

reply to requests for .narinfo.sig.
Optionally, use Guile-Avahi to publish the service.

* user interface
** Add a package.el (Emacs) back-end
package.el is quite monolithic, but we may be able to reuse/extend
‘package-menu-mode’ or at least ‘tabulated-list-mode’.
** add guile-ncurses interface
* extend <package>
** add ‘recommends’ field
For instance, glibc, binutils, gcc, and ld-wrapper would recommend each other.

whether the colliding files are identical, honor per-package priorities,
etc.

* distro
** port to new GNU/Linux platforms, notably ‘mipsel64-linux’
** port to GNU/Hurd, aka. ‘i686-gnu’
Problems include that current glibc releases do not build on GNU/Hurd.
In addition, there haven’t been stable releases of GNU Mach, MiG, and
Hurd, which would be a pre-condition.
** make a bootable GNU/Linux-Libre distro, with OS configuration EDSL
Similar in spirit to /etc/nixos/configuration.nix.
