Hi there,

I am new to this list. I am already monitoring the progress of guix for
some months. I really like the idea behind it (I am a longterm emacs user).
At the moment I have installed guix on one of my Ubuntu machines.

I jump in with the description of the tool ifstatus.
I am not sure where to put it in the package tree. So I started with a
single file.
The package needs a simple patch (add #include <stdlib.h>). I decided to
do it using substitute*...

I hope ifstatus will be integrated as guix package.

Stefan.

     "IFStatus was developed for Linux users that are usually in console mode.
It is a simple, easy to use program for displaying commonly needed / wanted statistics
in real time about ingoing and outgoing traffic of multiple network interfaces that is
usually hard to find, with a simple and effecient view. It is the substitute for
PPPStatus and EthStatus projects.")
