<PurpleSym>rekado_: Wouldn’t that interfere with %input-style? gnu-gettext is not a valid package specification and gettext is not a valid package variable.

<rekado_>good point. More mapping!

<PurpleSym>guix-cran is building on Cuirass now.

<civodul>yay!

<civodul>let's see how long that keeps the build machines busy

<civodul>PurpleSym: if you want to add it to https://hpc.guix.info/channels, patch welcome :-)

<civodul>more generally, would you like to advertise it publicly at this point?

<PurpleSym>I’m not quite ready, because updates are not fully automated yet. If that’s the case I’ll send a patch for the website, civodul. Advertise as in a blog post on hpc.guix.info?

<civodul>PurpleSym: yes, for instance

<civodul>like a blog post explaining the motivation, how it compares to other options like the guix-install R package, and possible next steps

<zimoun>next steps, do the same with the Bioconductor archive? ;-)

<rekado_>bioc is smaller

<rekado_>but it also contains non free stuff

<zimoun>about the non-free, well we are speaking about a separated channel, right?

<PurpleSym>A separate channel would make sense.

<PurpleSym>The dependency on guix-cran is going to make is slightly more difficult though.
