You may find some of his packages here: . I don't think anyone else have attempted it, so your help is very welcome! You may find the KDE updater useful before you begin packaging new applications: ./pre-inst-env guix refresh -t kde -u ...that command will update the package versions and hashes in your local repository with the latest ones found on the KDE mirrors. It requires a local Guix checkout as described in the manual under "Building from git". Feel free to send patches as you go along. Hope this helps, and welcome to Guix!
