You may find some of his packages here: .=20 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! --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCgAdFiEEu7At3yzq9qgNHeZDoqBt8qM6VPoFAlz+TJEACgkQoqBt8qM6 VPp9XAf6A+hsGXi5nf29sr4pXiCiEgKUrTjS93uMdxPEdF+7N8kle27Rf5b0yyUC eDN2mwlicUaKz1LfW5B5vBWUbO9Imy74K+lBdqk5b7ySZJacxIO/OHRDf2p4vgtY /OxxX7KJEcLRmSmNU+bO7fEQloXqHucLbc/6iBX1cYPphayd8lAylZo71qOhQGE6 1aaulVOobJj/pGkjKrSdjMx+y8+Nm/oc/CdcvfGIi3yEKO7uAvENstyGqa+U3KLT gQbrz1NwS/wrkHReLMT48a5N5KsT7yliBe2wb6hg1xCFqMqEN1J1a1tHhJQ3tloK Y1IFq0y+Vlznf3vWwyJNsCcYIIMrwg== =SZvS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
