Some sort of integration is desirable, with links as you mention. Now Cuirass is not specifically about packages, conceptually at least, so IMO having both features in the same tool would “break the abstraction.” What we could do, though, is run hpcguix-web and Cuirass on the same machine, and customize hpcguix-web such that it includes links to Cuirass builds, for example. hpcguix-web already provides a level of customization that should make it easy. WDYT? Thanks, Ludo’.
guile-next package needs new native-search-paths
Hey everyone,
First of all: Thanks, Ludo, for the new guile-next package. I tried
building it myself but couldn't figure out how to make the test suite
pass.
There's just one small issue: The native search paths are wrong. They
are using the 2.2 search paths currently and thus you can't use it
as-is to develop projects that depend on other Guile libraries. The
fix is just to add this to the package recipe:
(native-search-paths
(list (search-path-specification
(variable "GUILE_LOAD_PATH")
(files '("share/guile/site/3.0")))
(search-path-specification
(variable "GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH")
(files '("lib/guile/3.0/site-ccache"
"share/guile/site/3.0")
Any objection to me pushing a commit that does this to master?
- Dave

I wonder though: is there a way to know if a specific derivation is a package? > What we could do, though, is run hpcguix-web and Cuirass on the same > machine, and customize hpcguix-web such that it includes links to > Cuirass builds, for example. hpcguix-web already provides a level of > customization that should make it easy. Sounds good! Clément
