I think it's a much saner approach. I believe Guix documentation should only deal with what is specific to Guix. In the case of Emacs, it could mention that many third-party packages (those on ELPA, etc.) are readily available as Guix packages. I'm currently dealing with TeXlive and some documentation about how to install binaries, packages, and configure the whole thing could help a lot I think. In the line of what Ricardo suggested, this might not necessarily fit the Guix manual. It could fit another "Guix package reference" info page. Or maybe a dedicated section in the Guix manual? =2D- Pierre Neidhardt --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEUPM+LlsMPZAEJKvom9z0l6S7zH8FAlsMINMACgkQm9z0l6S7 zH+OJQgApHPsElyMQWFF6jmLErjO9YcGc+w2VECtYC+BSMigEceoYkCPhzl2ZnWz 0Pw8RwhylJZoIe0w2WGQknAtGXL28xZfwDiV3inKrpNei/9+y2uTD9ZiXbAcwlcn LeDnoF5OYdjIQ6TH+IsxgdFcHW4s4KERxkraxYHFJtIsHu+fbMUoalYc7XDm80xk 7M/EEhE6Zx3lcHdS4rnhzlJvuV/U2gzrkHRDTQIOMJ3oGe2TZhs5gVY7zNdlDv/b v8UaTneTIPA4zxQ1szV1+ArQl/jc+r/CL6p8jJlGA33yqOtmkpRPFzy680CSIifT ElPFbmMs0SOh2lJDNrIC/HdVtnicAA== =Fa4U -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
