Hi, Do you plan on including coq.scm in the upgrade plan, as it also depends on dune? If so, would coq-packages also be upgraded, or should that be done after the ocaml-team branch has been merged with master? Anyway, I am new to Guix, but will try to help if I can (time- and competence-wise)

Hello, please consider I am (was?) a /great/ fan of rebase, but I have to admit that "the golden rule" [1] of rebasing makes sense: «never rebase on a public branch.» Leo Famulari writes: > On Sun, Jun 11, 2023 at 08:47:54PM -0400, Maxim Cournoyer wrote: >> I'm not sure how that'd work, since G

Using (recursive #t) in (origin git-reference)

2023-06-20 Thread Development of GNU Guix and the GNU System distribution.
Hi, Is there a trick to fetching Git submodules with (recursive? #t)? It does not seem to work with the package definition below. The code uses Ekaitz's proposed Zig build system. [1] Thank you! Kind regards Felix [1] https://issues.guix.gnu.org/60889 * * * gnu: Add river. * gnu/packages/zig.
