I'm not sure any of the Guix Data Service code is worth moving across, but it might be worth trying to make something better that uses the records in Guix, and then using that in the Guix Data Service. >> Provide narinfo and nar files for derivations, and the required source >> files ([12] for example).

I don't think I had any big problems duplicating code in (guix scripts publish), however, it might be worth looking at perhaps trying to identify similarities if there are cases where duplication can be avoided. >> In particular, I'm still thinking about; >> >> - Automated code review for Guix patches, which I was working on when I >> started working on the Guix Data Service, and most of the >> functionality can be beneficial there. > > Yeah, I think at the Guix Days you showed how to take advantage of the > Data Service while reviewing patches; perhaps we should write down a > tutorial or something.

What=E2=80=99s missing, actually? I haven't sorted anything out to automatically update the data, and "publish" the news articles. I also need to improve the large lists of packages, as that isn't very useful. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQKTBAEBCgB9FiEEPonu50WOcg2XVOCyXiijOwuE9XcFAl47AlVfFIAAAAAALgAo aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldDNF ODlFRUU3NDU4RTcyMEQ5NzU0RTBCMjVFMjhBMzNCMEI4NEY1NzcACgkQXiijOwuE 9XcbUw/+JKjBkD+CvTwiopX1BjUjNIs8lKr0lm7Twum/9zNlbjug980aZK3UIenR ptUl1uU9ecXBRwu0j+Oq8if1cS4A4unq/OhFgdZUFltwyHCeYBwTX+KNupC//VZv wdMvnWRHhvmHGDO28tyyQxi222SVsplIvUvQs9NK47VfNtzU89IV9nRB8RRa9avO PC1HK+Ivbu6DGDLv3gBKkRN2pVQ6WpQrlF89RxNFkXtrz3/oSrLwpTucdPr8lXxy 1gDDrmNWCFg5jK8xAnnssv21+qNgmBkFQTBi53J7k0Aao3eeE0zgJNhqAAEaNqaj /GbDzMHJIsNoAfr0zCWRDEnotu+W2duxgWpwkfM0LKzljcTSSqzq/Eggd0Y2R2g7 G3uONu617F60SxWwna2Q08gTyHtc1oHwxpIhyD7k6M10TZ3uy81PO72eqsVMxHip QffoEml2xRDYPhB9fRW1NTuaJGdXi9G5q9vqTqeIeQy/U4SESk3N696FEu0KZ+4I gIQSRTpC4AAoow/tqjnBSPTCE/piuGrA5AN8lFcGgToNf9hJsP3wMkwQhMq/8vve XoR17s3+CYc28mzVEi1x4ZrCPpCVhabIUHl9ugrfLDJGDZEogU5WxyqwwQNl5hkb aOGLHx3bWwLomsJ0DBGFyNW8dj0YF/T3YfI9hCINGPHYVC9gzeY= =0R5f -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
