guix open

hi guixers,

what do you think of having a `guix open` command that opens the projects
home-page in your $BROWSER? 

For example, in case you want to specify the browser and override the default
$BROWSER (e.g. icecat):

guix open nnn --browser=chromium

bloat?

I actually quite like this idea! I think maybe we could use something like
this instead for the command, though:

  guix home-page hello

hi, thanks! I was just thinking of guix open like git open:

$ guix show git-open | awk 'FNR == 8 {print}'

homepage: https://github.com/paulirish/git-open

How would I do the above with recsel instead of awk?

Yes — as ‘guix open’ — but it would make a nice addition to ‘guix 
show’.

How would that interact with ``guix package --show''? Perhaps it might
be better to add a ``guix package --open'' option?

Ah, damn, yes.  I didn't think of that.

(Actually, I think this nicely illustrates the folly of adding 
cute subcommands that should be options.  It illustrates this, er, 
~somehow!~, but it does.)

Yes, ‘guix package --open-home-page’, ‘--open-browser’, whatever, 
but again be a bit more descriptive.

unconditional support for the actual feature makes that almost 
OK?)

Not sure, but maybe we should also add a guix package --bike-shed-alarm, similar M-x doctor in GNU Emacs...

bloat?

Currently “guix show” is an alias of “guix package --show=” and we could
start to do the contrary, “guix package --show=” would be using “guix
show”.  Mainly for maintaining backward compatibility.  But “guix show”
could evolve this own way supporting options that would not be supported
by legacy “guix package --show=”.  WDYT?

It would avoid some headache. ;-)

‘guix show’ prints the home page URL, which is clickable in recent
terminal emulators.  Do we need something more?

I am not Ludo (last I checked), but I use kitty and can click on links to open them in a browser. Even the "location" field will work, opening it from the store. I'm not sure what is set by default, perhaps ctrl+left click as that's what I have on one computer. While another I definitely changed it so it is just a regular left click.

It is already possible, thanks Unix composability. :-)

   $BROWSER $(guix show hello | recsel -P homepage)

Well, ’recsel’ from the package recutils is unusual and appears a bit
weird at first but it is very powerful once RTFM. :-)

what's the advantage over this one-liner?

    guix show recutils | recsel -P homepage | xargs xdg-open

too many characters to type but I think I will turn that one-liner into
a script, add it to my dots, and consider this feature completed ;()

Thanks for sharing!
