Hi all! Executive summary: we should agree with Alex Kost to continue development on the one and only one official package repo, web page /and/ bug report (and dismiss the old ones, converting them read-only of necessary, with a note on the old pages) system because we now have two /diverging/ packages with the very same name and two (three?) different bug reporting platforms... and that's very confusing. AFAIU since 2021-01-11 [1] the new official home of emacs-guix is on Savannah as a Guix sub-project [2]; Alex Kost agreed [3] and told us that: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- As for me, I will continue to use my version of Emacs-Guix and to adjust it for my needs. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- and that's what he is doing (see below), so now "officially" we have /two/ packages named emacs-guix: the official one at Savannah and the "personal" one maintained by Alex. The official version is hosted here: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/emacs-guix.git but this is /not/ what is packaged in Guix now: we are packaging the "personal" Alex version since 2021-05-01 (commit 57681f1640) since I've done my little research (grepping for emacs-guix in commit message) and found this changes in the URL of the origin (list in reverse timeline order): * 399e3ee7b7 (gnu: emacs-guix: Update to 0.5.2.5-c9aef52.) dated Thu Aug 26 21:52:49 2021 (current) contains this diff: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (uri (git-reference - ;; TODO: Use the official version when it has a new home - (url "https://github.com/alezost/guix.el") + (url "https://gitlab.com/emacs-guix/emacs-guix.git") --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- * 57681f1640 (gnu: emacs-guix: Update to 0.5.2-4.8ce6d21.) dated Sat May 1 15:56:41 2021 contains this diff: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ;; TODO: Use the official version when it has a new home - (url "https://github.com/jsoo1/guix.el") + (url "https://github.com/alezost/guix.el") --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- * f98e3adcd5 (gnu: emacs-guix: Update to 0.5.2.3-a694fdb.) dated Sat Dec 12 20:56:46 2020 contains this diff: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- - (url "https://gitlab.com/emacs-guix/emacs-guix") + ;; TODO: Use the official version when it has a new home + (url "https://github.com/jsoo1/guix.el") --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Looking at the commit log summary on the web, the officlal and Alex repositories have diverged meanwhile, with different commits on both; the official one have two new commits from you Ludo' (that's why I'm directly messaging you Ludo'... you (and others) are probably using the official version /not/ installed from Guix upstream ;-) ). Also, the official (personal ?) web site for emacs-guix is https://emacs-guix.gitlab.io/website/; in the home page we read: «Source code of Emacs-Guix: https://gitlab.com/emacs-guix/emacs-guix» Also, the "official" (personal ?) home page references to MELPA as one of the install method, and on MELPA we have https://melpa.org/#/guix referencing https://github.com/alezost/guix.el/tree/c9aef52121b458297e70bb50f49f7276b4a8d759 for the source code. Fortunately the GitLab and GitHub remotes are kept in sync (by Alex I guess) so we non not have a third repo :-) Also, "official" web page contains a manual https://emacs-guix.gitlab.io/website/manual/latest/emacs-guix.html that is /not/ obtained using the official repo (AFAIU the manual still have the same content, anyway) Also, the "personal" issues (/and/ merge requests) are here: https://gitlab.com/emacs-guix/emacs-guix/-/issues /and/ here: https://github.com/alezost/guix.el/issues and... ...they are not (obviously) in sync, so users now have to search on tho different platforms (three considering guix-devel) for past _upstream_ bug reports; AFAIK we don't even have an official bug reporting mailing list on gnu.org (is it supposed to be guix-bugs?) So now we have an official emacs-guix on Savannah (lacking an official web page and a bug-report mailing list) and the "personal" version of emacs-guix on a different "personal" reporitory hosted on two remotes: one on GitLab, referenced in the home page, and one on GitHub, referenced in the MELPA project page. IMHO we should definitely fix this situation. Thanks!
