Re: Help packaging R Quarto Cli

["Sébastien Rey-Coyrehourcq" <sebastien.rey-coyrehourcq@univ-rouen.fr>]

Hi,

I continue the packaging using guix import crate, this is a slow process, but everything goes well at this time.

My file deno.scm contain 6000 line, with all packages imported, this is a problem because i need to remove duplicate.
The best way was probably to export all `(define public method … )`  into a folder with corresponding library.scm.

I need to create a module by package do you thing ? and after that import all the package using `use-modules` ?

Best
