Hi,
I would like to know when new packages, (I don't mean updates to
packages), in guix are available.
Is it the same to new packages in GNU, which I could know through the
"info-gnu@gnu.org mailing list or is there a difference between GNU
packages and guix packages?
It would safe time to be informed and not look sometimes at the guix
packages available in https://guix.gnu.org/de/packages/

Hi Gottfried,

Whenever you run “guix pull” it will print information about new and
updated packages.
You should run “guix pull” somewhat regularly anyway, so that you can
get fixes for security vulnerabilities.

I suggest using “guix package --list-available” or “guix search”
instead.

I was thinking about this too yesterday. I wanted to know which games were added recently.

As far as I know info-gnu is for GNU Projects only, while Guix packages libre software and libre cultural works from any project, including GNU.

It would be a nice service to have.

thank you,
when I run "guix package --list-available" it doesn't show me the new
packages, which I am looking for, but the whole list of all packages.
I would like to know which new packages are included into the list of
available packages.
that would be great.
How can I reach this goal?
When I do a "guix search", what options I should use.
I always have trouble with the mentioning of options.

Gottfried,
The question is of course 'new compared to when', but the most sensible answer is given by 'guix pull --news --details'.
Kind regards,

I just keep an eye on:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/log/
The commit message titles have a pretty rigid format where all starting
with "gnu: Add" will get you what you want.
