Add Guix manifest#173

Is it worthwhile updating any documentation for this one? Or is it more like "if you know, you know" |
|
I'll just wing a paragraph here off the top of my head something like what I'd propose for the docs if we were to do them, in case it helps provoke a gut response as to whether it's valuable Contributing to xc using GuixAn easy way to get started contributing to xc is to use GNU Guix, which has a package recipe for xc. Use what do you think, add something like that to the docs, take a different approach, or skip? |
This PR adds
guix.scm, providing a package forxcwhich uses the local source files in the git working tree instead of building from the last tagged release.Outcomes for Guix users
Guix users working on xc will benefit in a variety of cases:
guix shell --developmentguix build --file=guix.scmguix shell --container --file=guix.scm -- xcNo documentation changes
This shouldn't have any impact on non-Guix users, and there's no documentation for Nix users presently, so I decided not to add any for this. If you would welcome it, I can write a paragraph in the README about using Guix for development.
Guix upstream
Upstream Guix accepted my patch to include the package for xc and its dependencies, which means we can ship a lean
guix.scm.
