Hi,
I am trying to upgrade the Guix Kicad package from version 5.1.10
to 5.1.12.
When I upgrade the version and hash of the package definition and
try to build it, it fails with a CMake error saying the
OpenCascade header files are missing.
"opencascade-oce" is listed as a package input, j

Do I need to put more information in the Kicad package

I understand now, I just needed to specify the opencascade include
directory in the configure flags in the Kicad package definition.

I would like to create a Guix package for PlatformIO so I can

Is there a way to pass a specific package version to the guix
refresh command?
This may be necessary, for example, if a git repository contains
spurious tags that confuse the guix refresh command into chosing
an incorrect latest version.
I apologize for a very basic question, but I could not find where this is
documented. If a paper or manual page describes this I would be happy to read
it.
How, in general, does code in a Guix package find its dependency packages at
run time?
Does it potentially work differently for each build
The mecanism depends a bit on the build system but for C
programs, it's embeded at build-time in its RPATH. For
applications, there are
wrappers
(https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Build-Utilities.html#Wrappers).
So in general, packages use environment variables to find the

to set up environment variables. If
Remember the difference between inputs and propagated inputs:
they're the same, but when you create a profile, inputs are not

Does anyone have any examples of using Guix System as a network
router?
I am hoping to replace some Ubuntu server routers with Guix.
I found this post:
https://timmydouglas.com/2021/02/07/guix-router.html
I would prefer, though, not to need custom packages or channels,
if possible.
Thanks!
This looks great, thank you!
I will test it out as soon as I get a chance.
