Dear Guix,
Now that Qt 5.12 and qtwebengine have been added to Guix, would an experienced packager be able to add RStudio to Guix? It appears that all of the dependencies referenced in the NixOS package definition are also packaged for Guix. Many thousands of R users are enthusiastic about Reproducible Research* and if RStudio were available to interface with the impressive set of R packages from CRAN already available, it would make Guix a very attractive choice for many R users. I've tried tackling packaging it myself, but as primarily an applied R user and not a system administrator the RStudio IDE appears much more complicated than packaging an R library. This IDE is AGPL licensed and is split into two parts a server and a desktop version. Below I provide links to the NixOS RStudio package along with Rekado's package of an older version of RStudio (which also didn't build for me). - https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/r-modules/wrapper-rstudio.nix - https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/f024caa7a8f274a16048e71c30e1bac9e75c0ab4/pkgs/applications/editors/rstudio/default.nix - https://github.com/BIMSBbioinfo/guix-bimsb/blob/master/bimsb/packages/staging.scm * For example, so notes on reproducible research in R from Karl Broman: https://kbroman.org/Tools4RR Thanks for any and all developments on this front. I am extremely grateful for all the work everyone in this community has done to bring Guix so far. If there is anything I can do to help with getting this packaged, please let me know. I'm eager to get on with my research, but I would love to be able to do that from Guix so that I will know for sure I will be able to reproduce my work :) Thanks, Kyle
