But as of now the latest version I have found on a mirror is 1.6.16 (on the aforementioned Debian repository) while the latest version is 1.6.17. I could use the epson.net source and add the one on debian.org as soon as it is updated to the latest version. > When you’re ready I encourage you to follow > <https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Submitting-Patches.html> > and send us the ‘git format-patch’-produced patch so we can incorporate it. Thank you for your feedback. I apologise for not adhering to the guidelines; this is my first contribution to a free software project. If it is enough to add just the epson.net source for the time being I will submit my patch as soon as possible and according to the manual. Greetings Diego
