I may ask you for some details when I finish looking through all your documentation.

Reviewing KDE Plasma state on Guix System
Hi Guix, First, I would like to congratulate and thank you for the excellent work you are doing in the development of both Guix and this community. Then, I'm writing today because I would be interested to have the KDE Plasma desktop running on Guix System. I am willing to participate in its integration; I have already seen —roughly— that a good part of kde-frameworks was already packaged in the Guix depots; I also saw that some core parts for the desktop are currently missing. Before I start a full diagnosis of the current situation, I would like to know: does someone in the team already have done so? or would perhaps be responsible for integrating the KDE packages? in short, have we now a good overview of the current situation, on where the KDE packaging process is currently at? If there isn't any "global vision" of the state-of-the-art for the Plasma desktop yet, I would be happy to take care of it, by searching on the mailing list, testing the different parts already integrated, the necessary dependencies, the missing parts, etc. I'm a newby in Guile and Guix, so it would probably take time (and questions) Thanks and happy hacking, -- Félicien Pillot 2C7C ACC0 FBDB ADBA E7BC 50D9 043C D143 6C87 9372 felic...@gnu.org - felicien.pil...@riseup.net pgpzmhiNwJW7X.pgp Description: Signature digitale OpenPGP
