Hi Guix, Thank you for the notification that fenics-dolfin is not currently building.
It has been a while :-) but I plan to resume maintaining the fenics packages in Guix by the end of this month. A quick look at the build log for fenics-dolfin suggests that the problem is VTK-related; possibly a new VTK version containing an updated function. In terms of the upstream project, fenicsx will replace fenics. It has currently reached version 0.9; the production version may be released later this year. I intend to package fenicsx for Guix, including its new dependencies. Ideally, the fenicsx and fenics packages would co-exist for a period, Best regards, Paul.
