curl releases and download - package location to add

[ng0]

Hello,

I'm one of the developers who maintain GNU Guix, the package
manager and its GNU System (GuixSD).

Through our package manager curl is available as sourcecode and
as binary substitute on all supported systems and architectures
which Guix supports at the moment:
https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/master/curl-7.47.0.x86_64-linux
https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/master/curl-7.47.0.i686-linux
https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/master/curl-7.47.0.armhf-linux
https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/master/curl-7.47.0.mips64el-linux

https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/packages/#curl is a link to the
static generated package list pointing to the curl entry.
At the same link (currently 
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/curl.scm#n41)
you can find the current code for the package.

If you need more information about size, type, package name, or
any other specific details I left out we are happy to provide you
with input.

thanks,

I think wording like “I’m a contributor to GNU Guix” might be less
ambiguous (“maintain” might lead the reader to think that you
“represent” the project.)

You did not ask anything in your message, so it’s not clear to me what
you want exactly.  Did you want them to mention Guix on their web site?

My 2¢,
Ludo’.

That is true… I did not think of the difference between
maintainer and contributor. I am sorry.

To me the wording of the website[0] on which this address was listed
read for me like this should be obvious when they get messages
like this at this specific address.

Shall I rephrase and sent the message again?

Indeed, and they got the message - scroll down the page and look for "Guix"!
Now we just need to package the latest stable version to merit a yellow
background, but this should wait until after the core-updates merge.

Thanks for the advertisement, Ng0!

That's really cool :) I like that they haven't filed us under "binary"
or "source". We transcend the distinction!

+1 !

For next time I know the distinction between maintainer and
contributors, so far I mostly used "who helps to maintain" or
"who works for" and similar wordings, which is not implying that
I am maintaining it.

A logo and link to the Guix website would be nice though.

Well, we are all collectively maintaining it, I would say.
No big deal.

My bad, I hadn’t read this page.

Thanks for emailing them!
