<rekado_>using the GWL is not as easy as it should be because extending Guix isn’t quite as straight-forward as it could be.

<rekado_>I proposed a GUIX_EXTENSIONS_PATH a while ago, which would be set by Guix, so that installed extensions such as the GWL would automatically be found without extra setup.

<rekado_>my proposal was to guix-devel in message <87o8tulhci.fsf@elephly.net>

<rekado_>implemented pretty much like GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH?” — so I guess someone just needs to add it :)

<zimoun>rekado_: thank you for the explanations. I agree. However, after installing gwl I do not have the subcommand "workflow". Is it expected?

<rekado_>yes

<rekado_>you’d need to augment the GUILE_LOAD_PATH, I think

<rekado_>I never remember exactly what needs to be done — hence the desire to add GUIX_EXTENSIONS_PATH and be done with it once and for all.

<zimoun>ok. I do not have notmuch at hand to easily find your proposal <87o8tulhci.fsf@elephly.net>. I remember a discussion on the topic but not the details.

<zimoun>So I will be back on the topic this evening. :-)

<zimoun>thank you
