I have done this now for the ldc compiler and ruby-nokogiri. E.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/d_language/comments/41sz2i/ldc_is_now_part_of_gnu_guix/ Now GNU Guix is becoming an ever greater system, I think it important that people realise they can use GNU Guix. Especially with packages that are notoriously hard to use on other systems (such as ldc and nokogiri). Pj.
