I sympathise, both with the rabbit hole you're going down, but also the issue around tracking all the work and interdependencies. My personal advice would be to file some bugs on debbugs.gnu.org against the guix-patches package, which is the approach for tracking patch submissions. Even if you don't have a patch to send yet, but are working on one, it still might be useful to have a bug open, as that indicates to others that there might be a patch available soon. You can mark bugs as "More information needed", which I've been using at least to categorise bugs that lack a patch, or where the patch won't be ready to merge for a little while. You can also mark one bug as blocking another. I'm also personally interested in getting Django 2 and 3 in to Guix, so let me know how that's going :) Thanks, Chris --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQKTBAEBCgB9FiEEPonu50WOcg2XVOCyXiijOwuE9XcFAl68/yhfFIAAAAAALgAo aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldDNF ODlFRUU3NDU4RTcyMEQ5NzU0RTBCMjVFMjhBMzNCMEI4NEY1NzcACgkQXiijOwuE 9Xd+0hAAhyfZv593OcGxxAzmZPqed58JOB8OwObQEQOV/953nHew/4yHdDFP5PUL aJIfqNU/kkPJEuKHm4oQMkvGLOGmcOQQC/S9I2+oXAhOQbQp57X9JW8G0CIP56z7 F6V6lfzbk+jdKJCIeemyCW3+YZu3Cnyaje6qBsjb0GaR84qc9wjGX5DmTvxou0RV wfGgRgnyoFEfhr9h3EL49cqmDidSX8+MMn3C1eOhM6/3ElYoh0KZpa6lkL4Ijkkx NMzLBNMFuBFY+0REvE9alB3VzxEeZig7WusKdGCeDE+xAxiUEl20zwdghdl4Ih3n W7Kyedb3YWtNOBg/jHNT2SIYd4Yauo2A3/KNLcfmgFYbXWP5+yRIbUB24S3HkqOd WXpQ853rgaCdlmuqTgHWemNuFqUsnKB5A7DHWXJKFd5OC3JHJYzLIQv+DI49Y3DS QnRmcpA6dh7YkwcjwK6yANH8VdNW5Gyd+bByNRHn0oYOudIeBDK06Y6D2+WnaJuy 9v4NipYzDcDgBUUR0CpSG49w8nXhkBTQh0s7zvP6ONAQyGzvdorKPzY2cTqCz3OC OlLdsw33fLxpRd2VuLc/18x0rgD/P1siwLPJRXc42lK7G0IlcU+FFj8H7Pm6hdIy vFuI9OgVl3mosL7RqA0rLtL+lZfDS7ZdAvoKLPL6tUaLlJCZBHU= =MuZ5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
