verbose backtraces when “invoke” fails

Hi Guix, I’d like us to catch the errors raised by “invoke”, so that the output of a failing build looks nicer again. Before we used “invoke” build phases evaluating to #f would cause the build system to abort and print a nice message. Now users get an ugly backtrace that is much too verbose for

Unofficial Neovim channel

Hello Guix developers, I have set up an unofficial Guix channel for Neovim (and possibly for related projects in the future): https://gitlab.com/HiPhish/neovim-guix-channel/ The plan is to use this channel first, and then submit patches to Guix when everything is deemed correct and reliable. I

Re: Plan for fish shell in Guix.
