These days I am doing some experiments with CentOS7 (rpm 4.11.8), so I
have a virtualbox VM around.  Attached the view I get using the pack
generated with,

    guix pack -f rpm -S /opt/bin=bin -R gmsh

then copied with ’scp’.  Well, I do not have GUI but gmsh seems working.

For me, ’rpm -i’ needs less than 10 seconds.  It installs 88 items if I
read correctly.

Hope that helps,
simon
