Which inputs to define for 'meta' utilities?

Hi, I'm about to package dtrx , a script to intelligently extract multiple archive types. The script determines the archive format and calls the respective extraction tool, which it searches on the $PATH. 1) Should I add all required tools as inputs? 2) Should

Guix key signing party at FOSDEM?

Hi everyone, It was a pleasure meeting many of you yesterday at the GNU Guix meet-up! Some people expressed an interest in PGP key signing, but unfortunately we didn't have time to do that on Friday. In addition, I'm one of those who did not register in time for the FOSDEM key signing event, so

FOSDEM Saturday dinner

Questions regarding offloading ( unprivileged setup , parallel builds )

Hi Guix team, I didn't find any documentation describing a way to use an alternative file for the offload settings instead of the default /etc/guix/machines.scm. Did i missed something ? Is there other files that are put under /etc ? It could be problematic for users who use custom store/sta
