Specifically the rules about the commit line formatting and the format of messages adding new packages or upgrading packages have been explained enough times that it is wasting your time not to put them in a document :) Probably they should be put into some automatic linter as well. I would offer to do this, but I think Guix's commit log standards are unnecessarily verbose so I am not the best one to do this :) > I'd like to push your commit with Eric's proposed commit log. > Is that okay? Sure! Thank you Mark :) Andy
