+GNU Guix consists of Scheme code that implements the deployment model
of the Nix package management tool. In fact, it currently talks to a
build daemon whose code comes from Nix (see the manual for details.)
Nix was initially written by Eelco Dolstra; other people have been
contributing to it. See `nix/AUTHORS' for details.
-GNU Guix was initiated by Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>, but it would
-not be what it is without the contributions of the following people (in
-alphabetical order):
-
- Andreas Enge <andreas@enge.fr>
- Nikita Karetnikov <nikita@karetnikov.org>
- Cyril Roelandt <tipecaml@gmail.com>
+The list of GNU Guix contributors is now generated from the output of
+'git log' and written to this file, as can be seen in release tarballs.
