Recent change -> 0.10.2 will be out soon=E2=84=A2.


For the collaborative Gentoo overlay I share work with, many packages
I contributed either originate there or got their first year of practice and debugging there and when I started to contribute to Guix, they
started moving into Guix master.
However we have some packages which can not make it into guix master in
their (current) form (one example: powwow. unaltered it came into Guix,
but we still patch it for Gentoo. Best case scenario would be to patch
it upstream). I am testing for the best way to transition the packages
which do not fit into Guix master to a form which does not depend on
maintaining another Guix checkout (too many wip packages on my side, and it must mean low maintenance costs).

This is what I mean with out-of-tree.

T= hanks for your clarifications.

Why don't these packag= es fit into Guix master ?

Could you provide a = list of these packages ?

Someone could take the initiativ= e to try to work on one of those and you could be lifted from the brunt

Just maybe.
