French translation of manual

Dear Traductor, Thank you to provide a french version. I am giving a look at this French manual. I have found some minor typos. For example, sec. 2.1 "depuis un archive autonome". What is the best the solution to correct? Do I report them here? Do I send a kind of patch? If yes, from

bioinformatics.scm vs bioconductor.scm ?

Dear, Thank you the nice importers. I am not sure to understand what is the rule to attribute a package to bioinformatics.scm or to bioconductor.scm when it comes from Bioconductor. For example, the package DeSeq2 from Bioconductor is in bioinformatics.scm. To be concrete, $ grep -e

FYI: I tried to update python-django

I just want to let you guys know that I attempted to update python-django to 2.1.4. I changed the version and the hash, but if were that easy, I'm sure someone else would've updated the package by now. The problem seems to be 5 failing tests. I'm attaching the build log. Luther

Re: French translation of manual

Hey Simon, Merci pour ton intérêt pour le manuel français ! Je sais bien que j'ai fait plein de coquilles, donc je suis heureux que tu ais pris le temps de noter mes erreurs :) La traduction est bien synchronisée avec po4a, et guix utilise le projet de traduction pour gérer ses traductions.
