Recommended way of packaging web themes

[Luis Felipe]

Hi,






I've experimented a bit and packaged both themes:

https://codeberg.org/luis-felipe/guix-channel-x/src/branch/trunk/luflac-x/packages/web-themes.scm



#+begin_example

❯ guile
...
> (getenv "WEB_THEMES_PATH")
$1 = "/gnu/store/gc0szk5h3s45d605ikzyxxxc4z2b9l3l-profile/www/themes"
> (define guix-icon-path (string-append $1 "/aureus/base/img/icon.svg"))
> (file-exists? guix-icon-path)
$2 = #t
#+end_example



How would you recommend packaging these kinds of themes?



Thanks in advance,

With "web theme" I mean a directory containing CSS, JavaScript, images and other files that define a particular look and feel for a website, web application or other kinds of products that use web technologies. For example, I'm looking into packaging the current Guix's website theme and a new theme that I've been planning to develop (based on the former). If these were packaged, I think it would be easier for other Guix websites and services (e.g. CI, QA, DATA) to use them and hopefully achieve a more uniform look and feel for the network of Guix web fronts. Once installed, I can access both themes from a custom path indicated by a non-standard environment variable (WEB_THEMES_PATH, currently set by the defined packages): ❯ guix shell -L luflac-x guile guix-website-theme-initial guix-website-theme-aureus However, while this seems to work alright, I'm not confident it is the right thing to do... Are there any standard paths and environment variables for web themes? Or should one use Freedesktop.org's XDG_DATA_DIRS and their specified locations instead?
