Helper for converting Debian packages into Guix package definitions
Project description
- Version:
- 0.1
- Copyright:
- GNU Public License v3 (GPLv3)
- Homepage:
guix-import-debian reads the Debian package description and .debian.tar.gz from the debian package servers and creates a (hopefully useful) Guix package definition. Of course, this definition needs to be reworked to make everything fine for committing to the Guix project.
This basically saves you some typing and collecting data. it does not doe the remaining work for you.
Typically things to to are:
check the source definitons
check the inputs and native-inputs
check the synopsis and description
check the outputs
test if building works as expected
run guix lint
and all the other
The downloaded debian file for this package can be found in $TMP (may be changed using option --tempdir), so you can easily continue your research.
