However, I imagine that is a similar issue faced by other > package sets in Guix. Fortunately, Julia is less of a nice today than it was a few years back. Hopefully we=E2=80=99ll find more people to help. Regarding long-term maintenance, have you looked at the importer that was proposed a while back? (Cc=E2=80=99ing Nicolas.) https://issues.guix.gnu.org/62202 I think we try and have an importer and updater in place to ease package maintenance. Maybe the =E2=80=98juliahub=E2=80=99 importer (it seemed almo= st ready to me), or maybe something else. It=E2=80=99s been instrumental in maintaining other package sets. Thanks for your feedback, Ludo=E2=80=99.
