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/ Woow, very nice! We definitely need that kind of tool. There might be interesting stuff to borrow/share with hpcguix-web, in particular the bit the periodically updates channels from which packages are displayed. > 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), services,= and packages across the Guix channels that are part of the webring channel= s.scm file: https://git.sr.ht/~whereiseveryone/toys/tree/master/item/channe= ls.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 tha= t they might want to use. Right, so I think this could go in and =E2=80=98read-channel-metadata=E2=80=99, which is what reads =E2=80=98.guix= -channel=E2=80=99. To support i18n, we might want to have a format similar to that of channel news files. As additional metadata, we might want to add a link to a logo, to a substitute server, substitute key, and things like that, as in: https://gitlab.inria.fr/guix-hpc/website/-/blob/master/channels.scm So I=E2=80=99m closing this one and looking forward to addressing this! Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
