Porting Guix to Riscv64
Port Guix software collection to Riscv64 architecture
This project will work on bringing the Rust support of GNU Guix on Riscv64 up to fully supported, with the bootstrap chain from source. It will also bring Riscv64 in Guix up to the full level of support that is expected of commonly used architectures, ready to be used in all the applications where GNU Guix is already found. Riscv64, being an Open Architecture, freely available to anyone who wants to implement processors, goes a long way towards ensuring that our future computing platforms are free of hidden backdoors. GNU Guix, being a true Free Software Operating System and compiled from source from a small bootstrap binary, with reproducibility guarantees, is as close as the computing community has come to a fully auditable software chain that makes sure all the software we run on our computers is what we intend, and nothing more. By combining the Riscv64 architecture and GNU Guix for software we can reach toward a fully secure and auditable computing platform that we might consider trusting.
