Does Guix provide security support for Python2? For how long?

Hi. I use Guix on a foreign distro---Debian buster (current stable). I want to upgrade Debian to bullseye (current testing), but bullseye does not provide security support for Python 2. I still use Python 2 for OfflineIMAP. There is a Python 3 port of OfflineIMAP, but it was done very recently

Re: Can I easily install GNU Emacs 27.1.50 via Guix?

Hi Pierre and Simon! Thank you both for your tips and encouragement. I ended up studying Guix and then I wrote an `emacs-maint' package that builds from the emacs-27 branch. I currently use commit 2dbc95063b5ee3d48aceff05f89e63a134df86ed and I intend to refresh it monthly. I have however hit

Can I easily install GNU Emacs 27.1.50 via Guix?

Hi. For GNU Emacs I manually compile the latest code from the emacs-27 branch (and install it with GNU Stow). That's because I want the latest features and fixes, but I fear that the master branch could be unreliable when used together with certain external packages such as Notmuch. When

How to use foreign-distro fonts without symlink hack?

Hi. I use an updated Guix atop Debian buster on an x86-64 notebook. I had font problems in GNU Emacs. I took hours to recognize them as such and find the cause: Emacs was not using the fonts from Debian in `/usr/share/fonts'. I then worked around the problem by symlinking /usr/share/fonts to
