Hello Guix!
I think it is good to have a package-variable "linux-libre-lts", as
mentioned in the table at https://jxself.org/linux-libre/
This way, users don't have to remember and change the version numbers in
their operating-system-configuration or package-manifest, whenever there
is new L
Hi Efraim!
I was waiting for the kernel code reorganization before adding it as a
variable. The trick is to add also linux-libre-lts-source and all the
others, and in a useful location. Now it's just taking the time to add
it in somewhere.
Do you want to take a stab at it? I'm not sure when I'l
Hello Tobias!
It is! Would you like to try your hand at a patch? It should be easy
if unexciting work. (If you want excitment you can suggest making it
the default.)
Sure! Yeah, making it default was the next thing in my mind.
We should use upstream[0] release names, though, not roll our
Hey Tobias!
Where? It's neither here[0] nor there[1]. I found it on blogs.
The name isn't that important; just don't change it for fun, and
‘longterm’ is what I'm used to hearing upstream.

There is a table at the bottom of the page. The same naming co

Hello Mark and Others!
Thank you for your concern.
I can tell you that those cosmetic changes I made were 100% irrational, useless
and noisy.
I have clinical OCD [1] and ADHD [2], for which I regularly take Fluoxetine and
Methylphenidate to keep things under control. Due to this, if the packag

Hi Mark!
This guideline, and the code comment in 'gnu/packages/linux.scm', don't
make sense to me.
All of the kernel packages offered by Guix right now are current LTS
kernels. Do you mean "Always points to the newest released LTS version?"
Yours makes it more clear. So,

Hi Mark and Ricardo!
It's more appropriate to use 'for-each' here. 'map' collects all of the
results into a list and returns that list, which is not needed here, and
is slightly less readable. Also, the second argument to 'find-files' is
optional; omitting it does what's needed more efficientl

Hi Mikhail!
Example in the manual is wrong, it should say 'targets' instead of

Ah! So there is a separate field called 'targets', where `(list` is
