Guix Ncurses Interface?
Is anyone interested in having an emacs-agnostic ncurses interface for some aspect of the Guix APIs? One thing I thought of just now is a nice transitive dependency explorer ncurses interface. `guix install dag-tui` Forgive me Ambrevar, jgart

However it is only a temporary measure because on the 'core-updates' branch, (guix build syscalls) is used by polkit (for SET-CHILD-SUBREAPER!) and thus get nearly 3k dependents. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Do you mean Skribe syntax and Outline syntax [1] by “a couple of them”? Or others? Well, if it is possible to implement something similar to Texinfo, why not similar to LaTeX which is more popular for scientific authoring system than all the others. For what it is worth, I would never invest in something different from LaTeX syntax for publishing. :-) 1: https://www.nongnu.org/skribilo/doc/user-3.html Cheers, simon
