"me too".  e65c5f7b did build successfully and works as far as I can
tell; this is my first taste of guix.  (I also use the script mentioned
in [1] and did restarted systemd-sysusers once to make the build users
available.  Not sure if any of this is needed.  A pointer to recommended
readings would be nice.)

Thank you for working on this.

Been struggling with the test suites, which make some guix specific
assumptions and various other failures. Last I tried the packaging
branch above it did actually work (with the test suite results ignored),
but that was a while ago.

I'd like to transition to guile-3.0, but a blocker for that is
guile-gnutls test suite issues with recent versions of guile 3.x.

The upcoming release of guix (whenever that might be) will actually
include proper authentication of updates, which I think would be needed
for uploading to anything other than experimental.

I've been tempted to upload to experimental to try and get the NEW queue
processing going while those issues get sorted out, but haven't had a
lot of time or other excuse to work on it.

Would love to see progress on it, though, if anyone could lend a hand!

Any progress on this? We are considering deploying GUIX at $DAY_JOB and
I was wondering if this package could serve as a basis.

(No pressure intended)

Thanks

All the build-depends are packaged and may as well call this an ITP now.
Would still very much welcome help maintaining this, though!

Packaging branch updated to 1.1.0:
