Hi Hilco, for what I want to achieve, you need to understand Guix's philosophy: One of the major points is to have as few components as possible pre-build be external entities. Because only then Guix can ensure that the component is build from exactly the known source and not manipulated. And

XPATH queries and manipulation in guile?

2017-04-23 Thread Hartmut Goebel
Hi, as far as I see it might be necessary to manipulate maven pom.xml files in many cases. Fedora provides macros like "pom_xpath_inject" or "%pom_remove_dep" for this [1, 2, 3]. Where can I find XPATH support for guile and some examples? Alternatively we could use Fedora's python-scripts [3]
