Thanks for the heads-up. Thanks. I was planning to submit a patch this weekend, but you beat me to it. Sorry for the trouble! I'm glad to see that the change was pretty simple. >> If anyone here also knows of any other external systems pulling from >> womb, please lmk.

That is in turn used on gnu.org. Consequently, I think it's best to have such blurbs maintained independently of guix. What sort of Texinfo markup are you looking for, and are we talking about the same field? What field does guix use for the synopsis? Everything in rec/gnupackages.rec is handled by us at maintainers@, so we can do whatever we want there. Do you have a couple examples of what you think would be beneficial to pull form Guix? I'm certainly open to the idea where it makes sense; there's no sense in us duplicating effort within GNU unnecessarily. I'm also working on automating parts of our recordkeeping: in the next few weeks, Womb will have up-to-date version information automatically pulled from info-gnu release announcements; the FTP server; and a couple websites where necessary, though I'll be manually committing it for the first few months to verify that it is all working properly. So Guix might also be able to depend on rec/gnupackages.rec for checking for new releases as well, since unfortunately GNU doesn't mandate the use of the FTP server, or even info-gnu (so releases are all over the place). =2D-=20 Mike Gerwitz --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJbRsJAAAoJEIyRe39dxRuiK0IP/1nqNe9Nmg6csbtFs3jLTP9K GN+cl8FZ6Q3F4PMCQa0hOYTwV1KVb2d7UM5bbpBqb3jTXfkeG5C9gVvgAbj2y7TE EITpS5QinimcP5Ddm3vJj5T8bckhv+uosIeHnD3l3ch4VYqfPiQTdoR2y9hzwbYG kUfH3tY8UkmJtOuxeCzmAvY2sLBD+Rqfjf7w4njTveJBWrwcrI5m/T3QYw0fnvEA rTYj3guegL+uwjW/XRSgw1hyPJgspflVlI4MmogXLw5M406bM7kNsHx5Gyy1fQAB R750X89F/rdL42b392POJwwjaI3SbKvWHc1eV/SzYHyt/BedHwhxK9tqjvO1AO3W pa191iEYW5ulr2CRNZw01W6DfkBc5vfwwetY7NmB0NYvMWIRVSrmtQjmjVh94Pxr 3hT3y8E/L/nPzDb/ymGr0c2zHp9EuNw+QNf4CgKj7B40PvDUQ0RXyJN92/dC67fe Ijxd9kibZDTfJWv2O8yXwm5TPuJNm/5KcxZRKY7XWAwJqEDihQlJI8tjjwHwwoMv FVDmqXo47USgp+L2qGaJ0UsvS9uXAjuxeVkFy1gVkSQxkJYwQbqfhvezDlagpFYt WhC25WnbtRRiyyWa6396RLK/8dtqDfZh2At51fWfXrR8L1UkYuXUb86HrVz9Jamg vVJhzrGNjxeY0DlrVYjZ =x5fq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
