You would like that “guix shell --init” would generate a template for some “guix.scm” file, right? Cheers, simon

Is guix shell --export-manifest not already doing that? And “guix package --export-channels” is similar for the channels.scm file. Well, we could have a command somewhere for exporting both. Maybe. Following the idea, you would like: guix shell --init=python that generates some guix.scm and channels.scm file where the guix.scm would be a template for building Python some project. Right?

Re: guix shell init
> Could you explain what “Nix flake” means using Guix terminology? Hi Simon Here's TLDR list of nix flake features and their guix equivalents (maybe): Guix has features that overlap with flake features. What might be new nix features that the flakes API introduced might just be features that are built in to Guix by design as first class. Not all flake features are implemented or maybe make sense for Guix's API. This is potentially an open research question. > Another feature of flakes is that they provide a consistent structure, which > makes it easier to understand and use different Nix projects.

Guix uses guix.scm and manifest.scm for this. > Each flake has a lock file, flake.lock, which pins exact versions of its > dependencies.

Ludo fixed the caching in guix shell and wrote a post about it. A reference for the caching thing that flakes introduced: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes#Super_fast_nix-shell There's also some comparison of Guix and Nix flakes here: https://blog.benoitj.ca/2023-10-23-guix-home-configuration-part1-packages/ https://blog.benoitj.ca/2023-10-20-how-guix-compare-to-nix-and-vice-versa/ Wrapping up this email the Guix way – carefully packaged and with a sprinkle of flakes for good measure. Have a crunchy day ahead! jgart

Re: Meet Guix at Capitole du Libre in Toulouse, nov. 18-19
The print service I usually use has a lot of options for flyers,
{10,15,20,30}*{10,15,20,30}, 12*12, 21*29.7 and 30*40 cm. I think 15*20 would
be best.
Visit cards would be 3.5*7.5, 5.5*8.5 or 5*9 cm
