Package the-way for Guix

Open jgarte opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

Is there any reason why and with Linux you’d need to give it permission with chmod +x. would make it difficult to package the-way?

Isn't this commonly handled for any linux distro installed package?

Oh, this is more a reason to package rather than a reason against packaging - the-way is already available via brew on Mac and the AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/the-way-git/ - this is not maintained by me though, it should point to the latest version). I need to update the blog post with details!

Is there any other package manager you're interested in supporting?

Yes, I'd like to package the-way for the guix package manager.

I maintain the following guix channel with some contributors from the community:

https://git.sr.ht/~whereiseveryone/guixrus

I'd like to package the-way for GuixRUs while we wait for upstream to review and merge the patch.

I'll start working on the package soon.

@Ninjani

Just wanted to give an update that I was able to successfully package the-way for the Guix package manager in a custom channel called Guix 'R Us.

I'll be sending the-way to upstream GNU Guix soon for inclusion in their package collection.
