I think it's also worth mentioning the practice of including a Guix package declaration into your source, like https://dthompson.us/projects/haunt.html does. It's mostly useful for development packages since stable versions sh= ould preferably be added to Guix itself. =2D-=20 Pierre Neidhardt --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEUPM+LlsMPZAEJKvom9z0l6S7zH8FAltmvDcACgkQm9z0l6S7 zH+v6wgAi31iFrwXBYp3tJtDsUzYz3kkwPuhLYauaMTIc/hVV8Zoabj9YKUMEARA HtooRYoS19f4Mn+4ylj557D2xICXp/Srt7ZfF+dl8ih0wdYCo6zfCvOUKofDWXyz HXPxvosZHGCAgFT912lwHGqKBztylFJB/iLdf/icF4Zlw4ybjdEyzyvqaYTwUE7+ s2NJuEU11/989GfRi9K5Fi4XM+jTz369X/7LFXgDRrHySPL8sQRHO7WHj+sTQ9ZK gGYpB+ias0B7gxGJRRLFRemaOfNdcUjmt+YIWN6cuZ+6uSIw+ijGRHBj2RZVdEtH INt1/jYuCif07nfuGBbxy2kEPcP6xw== =vqTO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
