Subject: Moving general useful procedures to the utils-modules
Date: Wed, 26 Dec 2018 13:17:50 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d3796320-dfb6-4807-c1c5-656190d67f8e@riseup.net> (raw)

Hi

I found this in guix/build/cargo-build-system.scm:

(define (touch file-name)
   (call-with-output-file file-name (const #t)))

I think we should move useful ones like this to (build utils) and 
consider merging (build utils) and (import utils) into a single 
utils-module.

I think we should also consider factoring out some of these utils in a 
separate guix-utils library that can be used by other guile-projects 
WITHOUT depending on the whole of guix.

These steps makes it easier for newcomers to overview our many modules 
and use our very valuable tools.

Cheers Swedebugia
