Yes. It just needs to be done :)

One thing that would have to be addressed, though, is that the package list 
view of hpcguix-web seems to work only for JavaScript-enabled browsers. So if 
you are browsing with, say, Lynx, you don't have a way to discover packages.

But I wonder if it is possible now to make the packages part use any of the 
Postgres databases that already exist and allow traditional search without 
JavaScript...

Replace current guix website package interface with hpcguix-web?

2022-01-05 Thread Development of GNU Guix and the GNU System distribution.
Dear Guixers,

The hpcguix-web package interface (https://hpc.guix.info/browse)  supports 
package search, unlike the current one at https://guix.gnu.org/en/packages/. 
Plus imo hpcguix-web looks nicer.

 It would be a great UI/UX improvement if the current search was replaced with 
hpcguix-web. Has this been considered before?

Thanks,
