No, 3.4.15 is= n't the latest. 3.5.9 is the latest stable, but I couldn't get it t= o compile (at the very least lua-lgi is missing, I don't know if other = things are too). I figured it was better to have something rather than noth= ing. I don't need more than 3.4.15, but not having awesome at all stopp= ed me from using GuixSD for a while.

it requires also lua-lgi, at least with 3.5.9 versio= n. I can give you the wip
of that if it only got in with 3.5.x and you need it.

Apparently lua-lgi only became a dependency for the 3.5.x re= leases. If you have a working package definition for it then I'm willin= g to try to get it working with awesome. (I don't know anything about p= ackaging lua libraries, so I gave up on lua-lgi when it didn't work imm= ediately.)

Building the documentation also requires doxygen and graphviz in case you w= ant
to add a second output for them - I never made it that far and can't te= ll if the
docs are very big.

I'll give this a= go.
