Things like: > > - Searching for packages by name > - Looking at version availability > - Looking at build success/substitute availability I do not know if the comparison makes sense: To me, the Data Service is more-or-less the equivalent of: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/guix and what you are suggesting would be the equivalent of: https://packages.debian.org/experimental/guix Are we on the same wavelength? In other words, the Data Service is devoted to Guix dev. and Package Service to Guix user. In this picture, the usage that I described fits to the Package Service, right? Cheers, simon
