Suggestions? Happiness? Excitement? You tell! Thank you for writing it! It looks good, though I think the explanation of the benefit of GUIX_PYTHONPATH is a bit backward; one of the main goals was to avoid having foreign distributions break spectacularly because of Guix exposing their (sometimes incompatible) Python libraries via the shared PYTHONPATH. It also fixed a sometimes useful use case of using Python's virtualenv on top of Guix. [...] > About =E2=80=9Cguix pack -f deb=E2=80=9D, I thought it was experimental a= nd it is not > mentioned. Maybe, I don't think there's a need to label it as experimental. The mechanics are simple, and already proven to work. I don't see the user-facing options changing in backward incompatible ways in the future. > =E2=80= =94has > been extended with an experimental format: `guix pack -f deb` creates a > standalone `.deb` package=20 > > It reminds me that, > > https://othacehe.org/wsl-images-for-guix-system.htm > > could fit a Guix blog post. Mathieu, WDYT? Mathieu wrote one already, it's published on their personal blog. I've read it recently, it was interesting [0] [0] https://othacehe.org/wsl-images-for-guix-system.html > About the part =C2=AB **Python packaging** has seen important changes. = =C2=BB I > would mention the removal of many Python 2 packages. Maxim, WDYT? It's already mentioned in the NEWS which will land in the announcement emails, at least. We could mention that despite removing 500+ Python 2 packages, our collection has grown from X to Y ;-). I'll see if I can squeeze some extra bits in before the release. --=20 Thanks, Maxim
