Hi Zimon,

thank you, that should work for the time being.  I'd love to link the official 
site on .gnu.org though, please make it possible guys 凉

Indeed. A page giving installation instruction would be useful the way
Conda does it:

https://anaconda.org/bioconda/vcflib

It invites the user to try.

Right, the current paths are not that useful.

This is a known issue, see https://issues.guix.gnu.org/32261.


I'd like to fix that myself, but haven't had the time to do it. But maybe I'll 
send a patch soon.


By the way, Sunshine, there is a guix badge you can use in code forges to 
indicate the software is available in Guix:

Re: Permanent URL for GUIX packages

[Development of GNU Guix and the GNU System distribution.]

Hello Florian,

thank you for your reply.

These variants don't seem to be usable in my case, since line offsets often 
change within those files.  Even the link to web.scm on 
https://guix.gnu.org/packages/monolith-2.6.1/ is wrong, since it links the 
latest version of the file and not the one that was used during the build.

I'm honestly very puzzled by the format of the URLs on that website, I don't 
think I've seen that before on any other site that lists packages.  E.g. 
https://guix.gnu.org/packages/monolith-2.6.1/ should ideally be 
https://guix.gnu.org/packages/monolith/ with perhaps 
https://guix.gnu.org/packages/monolith/2.6.1/ to target specific version.  
Otherwise there's no way to be sure the URL will be available once the new 
release is out.  Even .../monolith-latest/ would work, but currently I see no 
way to link to GUIX's website from my Readme file, and I believe that's the 
only one I can't do out of close to 10 different ways of obtaining the 
pre-built software for various platforms.

Is there any way you could reach out to somebody who maintains the packages 
section of the website for guix, or just let me know who I should talk to to 
propose this improvement?

Kindly,
Sunshine

Permanent URL for GUIX packages

[Development of GNU Guix and the GNU System distribution.]

Hello,

I'd like to link guix.gnu.org/packages/monolith-2.6.1/ from my project's 
README file (https://github.com/Y2Z/monolith), but due to the version string 
being part of the URL, I can't easily do that, would have to change the link 
for every new release.

Could you please let me know how to permanently link to a specific package on 
that website from somewhere else?  If it's currently not possible, could you 
please mention this issue to someone who could potentially add this enhancement 
to the website, or point me in the right direction as who to talk to?

Thank you.

Best,
Sunshine
