Thanks for your time and patience with Guix. I love to see you continue to use it! Do you think you could try packaging CV Assistant yourself? I suggest packaging it yourself for several reasons: - Guix is an incredibly hackable system. If nothing else, I enjoy working on and owning my own system. Not only can you make the system what you want, but it is fun to work on. - You may find confidence to package your own packages in the future. It seems like you are very curious about a lot of linux software and writing packages is an excellent way to get a deeper understanding of various software ecosystems. - Did I mention it is fun? Lisp is an excellent language and using it will teach you a lot. I hope you will at least try someday.
