From the package description: Nomad is an Emacs-like Web Browser built using Webkitgtk and Emacsy. It has a small C backend and most browser features are fully programmable in Guile. It has hooks, keymaps, and self documentation features. Though it requires a few changes to existing packages: Patches: 1. Shroud related patches a. update to 0.1.2: brings Guile-2.2 support Related issue: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/36576 2. Emacsy related patches a. Add guile-emacsy package, $ guix size emacsy ... total: 1136.3 MiB versus: $ guix size guile-emacsy ... total: 132.3 MiB Related issue: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/36151 (Discussion about "emacsy" vs "guile-emacsy" naming) 3. Nomad related patches a. Add 'Nomad' package in guile-xyz.scm 4. [Optional] Emacsy package can also be cleaned up a bit, mostly removal of propagated-inputs. Though that's a seperate issue.
