stumpwm and common lisp modules

stumpwm and common lisp modules

[James Richardson]

Hello list,

I was attempting to make a package for stumpwm. I got as far as, oh it
has a dependency on cl-ppcre (and a few other cl packages). Well it
turns out that actually putting a lisp module in a guix package seems,
well, non trivial. Does anyone else have an interest getting lisp
packages into Guix?

Hi James,

I've been working on a build system for CL packages for some time now,
which works well enough to produce a working stumpwm package. It still
has some missing parts and design issues which I've been mulling over,
but if you're interested I could try to clean things up and post my
progress soon.

What do you think?

I would be very interested! I'm not really a lisp expert (yet), but I
will help where I can.

Cheers. I'll try to have something submitted within the next couple of
days.
