Hi ! I hope this is the right place to send this. First off, I've only been using Guix for a month now but wow I love it! After getting the hangs of the basics I managed to create a working package for the JetBrainsMono Nerd Font that's based off the code from this patch:
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/44476 However, rather than lumping all the fonts into a single package, I'm planning to package each one independently, and have them exist as part of a nerd-fonts module. I'd like to submit this package as a contribution so that others can use it too, but wanted some clarification on packaging guidelines before i started to write out the bulk of the code. Currently, it's formatted like so: > 1 │ (define-module (bugchan packages font-nerd-fonts) > 2 │ #:use-module (guix packages) > 3 │ #:use-module (guix download) > 4 │ #:use-module (guix build-system font) > 5 │ #:use-module ((guix licenses) #:prefix license:)) > 6 │ > 7 │ (define-public font-jetbrainsmono-nerd-font > 8 │ (let ((version "v3.2.1")) > 9 │ (package > 10 │ (name "font-jetbrainsmono-nerd-font") > 11 │ (version version) > 12 │ (source (origin > 13 │ (method url-fetch) > 14 │ (uri (string-append > "https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/down > │ load/" version "/JetBrainsMono.tar.xz")) > 15 │ (sha256 > 16 │ (base32 > 17 │ "01j0rkgrix7mdp9fx0y8zzk1kh40yfcp932p0r5y666aq4mq5y3c")))) > 18 │ (build-system font-build-system) > 19 │ (arguments > 20 │ `(#:phases > 21 │ (modify-phases %standard-phases > 22 │ (add-before 'install 'make-files-writable > 23 │ (lambda _ > 24 │ (for-each > 25 │ make-file-writable > 26 │ (find-files "." ".*\\.(oft|otc|ttf|ttc) $")) > 27 │ #t))))) > 28 │ (home-page "https://www.nerdfonts.com/";) > 29 │ (synopsis "Iconic font aggregator, collection, and patcher") > 30 │ (description > 31 │ "Nerd Fonts patches developer targeted fonts with a high number > 32 │ of glyphs (icons). Specifically to add a high number of extra glyphs > 33 │ from popular ‘iconic fonts’ such as Font Awesome, Devicons, Octicons, > and others.") > (license license:expat)))) I followed the packaging guidelines from the manual, but wanted to double check still just in case I missed anything.
