Hi,
based on a former short discussion [1] I implemented a Pyhton tool which
helps generating package definitions from Debian descriptions.
Comments and enhancements are *very* welcome.
Installation:
pip install guix-import-debian
:Homepage: https://gitlab.com/htgoebel/guix-import-debian
`guix-import-debian` reads the Debian package description and
``.debian.tar.gz`` from the debian package servers and creates a
(hopefully useful) Guix package definition. Of course, this definition
needs to be reworked to make everything fine for committing to the
Guix project.
This basically saves you some typing and collecting data. it does not
doe the remaining work for you.
Typically things to to are:
- check the source definitons
- check the inputs and native-inputs
- check the synopsis and description
- check the outputs
- test if building works as expected
- run guix lint
- and all the other
The downloaded debian file for this package can be found in $TMP (may
be changed using option ``--tempdir``), so you can easily continue
your research.
