Own guix repository (channel)

Own guix repository (channel)

[Alexey Shrub]

Hi,

I want to use guix for deploying internal software in company where I work.
How I can create my own package repository (channel in nix terminology)?

Thanks for your interest.  Be aware that Guix is currently alpha software.

There is currently no equivalent to Nix channels.  I’m not sure exactly
what you mean, though.  Did you mean doing something like ‘nix-push’?

Thanks,

For example, package01 depend on package02, package01 described by Scheme file in current directory,
if I do
guix-package --install=package01
where guix will search package02? In current directory too?

Currently, guix-package and guix-build look for packages in the
(distro packages ...) modules.  More precisely, they look for all the
variables exported by all these modules that match ‘package?’, and pick
up one that has the right name.

In your case, package01 would have to be defined and exported in a
module named (distro packages XXX).  That module must be in Guile’s
search path (info "(guile) Load Paths").

Does it answer your question?
