<jfred>trying out Hall and dependency management feels weird... each dependency is a list and the last element is an unquoted symbol that seems to be the guix package, but it's not one that's in scope?

<vv[m]1>That was the biggest part that I was really, really confused by

<vv[m]1>I believe it's inherited from guix but guix has changed their syntax

<vv[m]1>also there's no docs on how it is supposed to work

<jfred>I found some documentation on it in its info page, but I had to go looking at the source for that since I don't have it installed systemwide (and therefore `info` can't find it)

<jfred>it's here, if you fancy reading info files unformatted 😆 https://gitlab.com/a-sassmannshausen/guile-hall/-/blob/master/doc/hall.texi#L916

<jfred>I indeed couldn't find those docs on the web

<vv[m]1>Ah, yeah.

<jfred>...I might now need to figure out if I can avoid this slightly patched guile package I'm using somehow, because Hall doesn't seem to be *quite* so flexible as to let you define custom guile packages
