A Few Packaging Questions

Hello All, 1. Is there a way to call non-exported procedures from a module in Guile? I am looking to solve the non-determinism in one of the above-submitted packages (dbqn), and per https://github.com/dzaima/BQN/issues/14 it seems the issue is timestamps in jarfiles, which ant-build-system handle

Here's a v2. I've changed the structure to something close to what Julien proposed, it looks a lot better now to me! The (^) should probably be tested before the final version. I don't think the list of 'guiding principles' is worded well, probably needs more work. [something I wrote previou

Hi Andrew, A big fat welcome from me as well. Savannah UI being what it is, I'm almost completely certain that I managed to make you a member of the ‘GNU Guix’ organisation there. You should be able to push to the Git repository. For my own future reference: did you get any automated mails a

FSDG issues of SCUMMVM-based games

Hi Guix, The packages - drascula, - lure, - queen, and - sky all share issues that make me question whether they should be in Guix. 1. Their license explicitly prohibits selling of the games themselves and may thus be qualified as non-free. 2. The "sources" consist of binaries that are installed
