* Abstract
|
|
|
|
We will introduce functional package management with GNU Guix, demonstrate some of the benefits it enables for research, such as reproducible software deployment, workflow-specific profiles, and user-managed environments, and share our experiences with using GNU Guix for bioinformatics research at the Max Delbrück Center. Functional package management differs from other software management methodologies in that reproducibility is a primary goal. We will also compare the properties and guarantees of functional package management with the properties of other application deployment tools such as Docker or Conda.
