I am glad to stay with guix. Even though I was frusturated sometimes
due to absence of some packages, I understood it is a growing distro
and rome was not not built in a day. :)
> Do you think you could try packaging CV Assistant yourself?
I sat to do it several times but could not start it due to the
situation I am in. I am curious to learn packaging in guix and I am
confident that I will be doing it someday. It just not the right time
(hectic situation).

All you mentioned are so true. Yeah, I will be doing it, someday. :)
