What use case did you have in mind, jgart? See the search that we are building here: https://toys.whereis.=E3=81=BF=E3=82=93=E3=81=AA/ toys is a channel webring in the form of a web API. It currently allows s= earching for public symbols (parses docstring info if available), service= s, and packages across the Guix channels that are part of the webring cha= nnels.scm file: https://git.sr.ht/~whereiseveryone/toys/tree/master/item/= channels.scm We'd like to be able to have a standardized way to get a channel descript= ion in the same way that we have a standardized way to get a description = or synopsis of a package. In other words, we want to make it easy to describe each channel for the = users that subscribe to that channel or are browsing channels for stuff t= hat they might want to use. > Most likely, a description could go to the =E2=80=98.guix-channel=E2=80= =99 file, if it=E2=80=99s unmatched-paren had suggested this very idea to me yesterday. unmatched-paren also mentioned the following: > you'd also want to change guix/scripts/pull.scm to display the descript= ion when a new channel addition is announced Feel free to close this ticket and when I get some free time I'll try to = send a patch implementing the description field to `.guix-channel`. If you have any other suggestions before I send that patch proposal for r= eview feel free to comment now or then. all best, jgart * https://git.sr.ht/~whereiseveryone/toys/ * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webring
