Looking for a packager

Looking for a packager

[Pjotr Prins]

Hi all,

I may have some funds to help package some free software tools in Guix
- in particular the Arvados software stack. But also Jupyter labs,
CWL, IPFS, Hyperledger and such.

We don't have a place to advertise for such work yet. Maybe we should
do that. One could argue that it takes the eye of the core Guix goals,
but I think that if there is a real user need for something (obviously
we'll target hundreds if not thousands of end-users), and someone is
willing to pay for it, it is valuable to the effort too.

If anyone is interested to do some work here feel free to ping me.

Pj.

Hi,

I'd be interested to know the details ;)

What is it?

IPFS has been on my list for a while.  I can take care of it.

The Common Workflow Language.  It has different execution
implementations.

I started packaging IPFS a while ago (mainly as a challenge to my 
limited Go skillz), but it's in no state to merge & I guess Pierre 
beat me to the punch.

Certainly.

Hyperledger seems cool, but extensive. Which tools exactly would 
need to be packaged?

Kind regards,

Huhu, now I have to be up to the challenge I guess! ;)
Would you mind sharing what you've done so far?
