Permanent URL for GUIX packages

Permanent URL for GUIX packages

[Sunshine via Development of GNU Guix and the GNU System distribution.]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 603 bytes --]

Hello,

I'd like to link guix.gnu.org/packages/monolith-2.6.1/ from my project's README file (https://github.com/Y2Z/monolith), but due to the version string being part of the URL, I can't easily do that, would have to change the link for every new release.

Could you please let me know how to permanently link to a specific package on that website from somewhere else?  If it's currently not possible, could you please mention this issue to someone who could potentially add this enhancement to the website, or point me in the right direction as who to talk to?

Thank you.

Best,
Sunshine

Something similar is possible, see <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/22217>.

Hello Florian,

thank you for your reply.

These variants don't seem to be usable in my case, since line offsets often change within those files.  Even the link to web.scm on https://guix.gnu.org/packages/monolith-2.6.1/ is wrong, since it links the latest version of the file and not the one that was used during the build.

I'm honestly very puzzled by the format of the URLs on that website, I don't think I've seen that before on any other site that lists packages.  E.g. https://guix.gnu.org/packages/monolith-2.6.1/ should ideally be https://guix.gnu.org/packages/monolith/ with perhaps https://guix.gnu.org/packages/monolith/2.6.1/ to target specific version.  Otherwise there's no way to be sure the URL will be available once the new release is out.  Even .../monolith-latest/ would work, but currently I see no way to link to GUIX's website from my Readme file, and I believe that's the only one I can't do out of close to 10 different ways of obtaining the pre-built software for various platforms.

Is there any way you could reach out to somebody who maintains the packages section of the website for guix, or just let me know who I should talk to to propose this improvement?

Kindly,
Sunshine

Right, the current paths are not that useful.

This is a known issue, see https://issues.guix.gnu.org/32261.


I'd like to fix that myself, but haven't had the time to do it. But maybe I'll send a patch soon.


By the way, Sunshine, there is a guix badge you can use in code forges to indicate the software is available in Guix:

Hello Luis,

thank you for letting me know about the badge.  I'll put it in the readme once I have a permanent link to attach to it.

Best,
Sunshine

Indeed. A page giving installation instruction would be useful the way
Conda does it:

https://anaconda.org/bioconda/vcflib

It invites the user to try.

Hi Zimon,

thank you, that should work for the time being.  I'd love to link the official site on .gnu.org though, please make it possible guys 🥹
