Is it sufficiently machine readable so that one could extract the information automatically? In any case, I do not think this is a blocker: Creating recipes for the GNU packages is essentially a one-time effort. And given the GNU standards, these are usually the simplest one to create. Out of curiosity, I made a rough count (using grep on ftp.gnu.org etc., so the numbers may be a bit off): Out of the ~303 packages in ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu, wee currently have ~169 in Guix. Andreas
