<rgc_>hi. First time user here. where can I find which apps have already recipies for guix?

<rgc_>I see 'guix package -s foo' works, but, is there anything more browseable?

<rgc_>empty string as search string kinda works :)

<Steap>yeah

<rgc_>although, having a way to browse the recipies would be nice

<Steap>there is also a web page

<Steap> http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/package-list.html

<rgc_>nice, and I see that in https://github.com/fintler/guix/tree/master/distro/packages there are the recipies

<rgc_>some of them at least

<Steap>guix package -A

<Steap>should work too

<rgc_>yup. thanks

<rgc_>btw, what's the idea with the recipies, how easy it is to collaborate sending new ones?

<Steap>rgc_: pretty easy

<Steap>juste add a .scm file in gnu/packages

<Steap>copy an existing recipe

<Steap>and modify it to fit your needs

<Steap>you might have to write some Scheme

<Steap>but iy should be easy for a programmer :)

<rgc_>I ment to contribute back to the main repo

<rgc_>yup, I'm trying to build luajit from the existing lua one

<Steap>are you using the git version ?

<rgc_>yes

<Steap>good

<Steap>then yes, you could add a package to gnu/packages/lua.scm

<rgc_>I see I finally installed guix 0.5, so the recipies are in /usr/local/share/guile/site/2.0/gnu/packages , I tried adding my luajit.scm there, but guix refresh didn't detect that new recipe.... :/

<Steap>rgc_: no, just update the files in the git repo

<Steap>as you'd do with any other piece of code :)

<Steap>Anyway, good night!

<rgc_>good night! tmrw I'll come back with more questions.. :)

<rgc_>hi again... I didn't succeed on adding a recipe to my 'local repo'. adding the file to in /usr/local/share/guile/site/2.0/gnu/packages and 'guix refresh' didn't work. neither 'guix build newpackage'

<rgc_>any obvious thing I'm missing?

<Steap>rgc_: dont'add stuff to /usr

<Steap>add stuff to ~/myguixrepo

<civodul>Hello Guix!

<zacts>hello

<civodul>hey, zacts
