Docs: Clarify use-cases of `guix-for-channels`?

Hi Tomas, I finally understand that it's my use of `guix-for-channels` that's making it pull when I reconfigure. So, my issue is solved by removing the `(guix)` field from the `(guix-configuration)` form in the configuration I posted. All I was trying to do was specify additional channels in my s

Re: On a Guile-based Build-Tool complimenting Guix

Hello Fi, Would you prefer a guile interface to meson, or a meson replacement in Guile? Regards, On 27 December 2024 00:41:33 GMT, Fi wrote: >I was thinking this the other day!, was wondering about how useful a guile >interface to meson would be. > >On 19. 12. 24 22:12, Divya Ranjan wrote: >>

Re: Expressing my interest for participation in fellowship-like programs

Hello Ashvith, The GSoC program you're considering was only a proposal, and I'm not sure if it was an accepted one. Pjotr can say more about that. I recently began a thread on a Guile-based build system, you can look through that and ask if anything's needed. Regards, On 26 December 2024 09:4

Hello Oliver, Thanks for the elaborate response and apologies for a delayed one from me, the holidays have been occupied. The build system you present looks really interesting. But can you list down exactly how it works and how a developer can use it to build something in Guile using Guix? Al

Re: Why does `system reconfigure` need to `pull`?

Hello again Guix, Thanks, everyone, for the replies to my inital message. Reading through them, I developed a hunch that that the issue might only occur when you configure additional channels in your system configuration, and I think I've been able to verify this. Rutherther suggested that I shar
